Heterogeneous catalysts often consist of an active metal (oxide) in close contact with a
support material and various promoter elements. Although macroscopic properties, such as …

X-Ray microscopic techniques are excellent and presently emerging techniques for
chemical imaging of heterogeneous catalysts. Spatially resolved studies in heterogeneous …

To improve the understanding of catalysts, and ultimately the ability to design better
materials, it is crucial to study them during their catalytic active states. Using in situ or …

Heterogeneous catalysis is the enabling technology for much of the current and future
processes relevant for energy conversion and chemicals synthesis. The development of new …

The structure and function of solid catalysts are inseparably linked at length scales from nm
to cm and beyond. Hard X‐ray tomography offers unique potential for spatially‐resolved …

Spectroscopic studies on heterogeneous catalysts have mostly been done in an integral
mode. However, in many cases spatial variations in catalyst structure can occur, eg during …

Heterogeneous catalysis is a term normally used to describe a group of catalytic processes,
yet it could equally be employed to describe the catalytic solid itself. A better understanding …

X-ray spectroscopy has had a significant and continually growing impact on catalysis
research for nearly 50 years. In particular, the ability to obtain element selective electronic …

High-resolution imaging with compositional and chemical sensitivity is crucial for a wide
range of scientific and engineering disciplines. Although synchrotron X-ray imaging through …

The modern chemical industry uses heterogeneous catalysts in almost every production
process. They commonly consist of nanometre-size active components (typically metals or …
