“…A small rotary saw was used to cut the pucks to a height of ~0.6 cm, then polishing and grinding of the puck to a surface fineness of 1 μm was performed using oil-based lubricants to ensure that no clays or water-soluble phases dissolved during the polishing. The synchrotron analyses were undertaken at the ID21 beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), France with data preserved online (Missen et al 2022b). Data were collected at the Co K-edge (7709 eV).…”

“…A step size of 0.5 eV and a dwell time of 0.1 s was used for collecting XANES scans, and scans were generally completed in triplicate. XRF and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements were performed at the ESRF, France (Proposal number EV-506; Missen et al 2022b).…”

Environmental context. Cobalt is a technologically critical element due to its uses in the green energy transition, but its cycling is poorly constrained in surface environments. We determined the form of cobalt in naturally enriched soils and found that it is commonly associated with manganese as mixed oxide nanoparticles. These findings demonstrate that the behaviour of critical elements such as cobalt in the environment is in part governed at the nanoscale.
