Catalytic Adventures in Space and Time Using High Energy X-rays

Catalysis Surveys from Asia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Very high energy X-rays (ca. >40 keV) have long offered great promise in providing great insight into the inner workings of catalysts; insights that may complement the battery of techniques available to researchers in catalysis either in the laboratory or at more conventional X-ray wavelengths. This contribution aims to critically assess the diverse possibilities now available in the high energy domain as a result of the maturation of third generation synchrotron facilities and to look forward to the potential that forthcoming developments in synchrotron source technology may offer the world of catalysis in the near future.

Notes

  1. See also the contents of this special issue of Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. for exemplars covering a wide range of applications to various aspects of materials chemistry as well as catalysis. See reference [2].

  2. We note here the elegant work of Stierle and co-workers which again strongly favours the use of high energy X-rays. Their approach resolves very detailed aspects of particle and surface oxide structure via the use of well faceted and aligned nanoparticles supported upon planar oxide substrates. Along with bulk Bragg peaks they are also able to observe surface truncation rods and therefore accurately reconstruct nanoparticle structures and morphologies. See Ref [49].
