Descrizione
In-situ or operando synchrotron X-ray techniques are currently used to understand the fundamental mechanism and guide not only the materials design protocols but the technological optimization, as well, in energy storage and catalytical processes.
The merits of synchrotron X-rays, such as high brightness (1012 more intense than that from the laboratory sources), highly collimated and energy tunable, make them perfect for applications in energy storage and catalysis science. The highly-collimated and variable focus synchrotron beam allows the implementation of sophisticated synchrotron techniques and it also allows the conduct of high temporal resolution (up to milliseconds) studies of the electrochemical/chemical reaction. In particular, the ultrahigh intense and penetration ability of synchrotron X-rays make the in situ and operando investigation of catalytical and electrocatalytical systems possible and easier to realize. Remarkably, this approaches allows to monitor and follow the structural modification during the chemical processes unveiling their dynamic mechanism.
In this seminar, after a brief introduction, the unique results obtained with Synchrotron Light on catalytical and electrocatalytical systems will be discussed.
