An interdisciplinary workshop that will explore applications of time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy to in situ and operando catalytic systems.
Understanding chemical reactivity requires knowledge of every step of a reaction, including the structures of intermediate species, ideally under operando conditions. The metastable nature of reaction intermediates necessitates time-resolved measurements, often on the order or seconds to milliseconds. We plan an interdisciplinary workshop that will explore applications of time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy to in situ and operando catalytic systems. Systems that will be explored include:
Materials and Systems
- Biological and enzymatic catalysis at ambient temperatures and pressures using microfluidics
- Operando electrochemistry
- Heterogeneous reactions at elevated temperature and pressure
- Pump-probe reactions
Experimental Tools:
- X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and EXAFS
- One- and two-color x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES)
- Scanning and dispersive measurements
- High energy resolution fluorescence detected XAS and resonant XES
- Simultaneous “on-line” sample characterization (e.g. optical spectroscopy)
- Complementary quantum chemical computations
