Project B6
Advanced X-Ray Spectroscopic Studies of Heterogeneous Oxidation Catalysts
Ex situ and in situ advanced X-ray spectroscopic approaches will be utilized in Project B6 to characterize spinel-based oxidation catalysts. Using X-ray emission spectroscopy time-resolved element-specific changes in the electronic structure of a catalyst will be tracked. Furthermore, two-dimensional resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy will be applied to specifically select for a metal and conclude on its oxidation state, d-to-d excitations and/or site symmetry.
