In-situ equipment at SNBL

Leader: Poul A. Norby, UiO

Advanced characterization of catalysts at operating conditions.

In-situ studies using synchrotron X-ray radiation

In-situ and time resolved experiments will be performed at the Swiss-Norwegian beam line (SNBL) at ESRF, Grenoble, comprising:

• X-ray powder diffraction (XRD)
• X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS, EXAFS)
• Raman spectroscopy

ESRF: European Synchrotron Radiation
Facility, Grenoble, France
Swiss/Norwegian beam lines: SNBL

A gas-mixing system is under installation, where catalysts may be studied under flow conditions at pressures up to 20 atm. and at temperatures up to 1000°C.

A mass spectrometer will be available for on-line gas analysis.
Two positions (one postdoc., one Ph.D.) will be filled in in-situXRD and XAS, respectively.
