X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a standard technique that is widely applied in heterogeneous
catalysis to determine phase composition, atomic structure, and size of crystallites. This …

Electrocatalysis is at the heart of a broad range of physicochemical applications that play an
important role in the present and future of a sustainable economy. Among the myriad of …

Understanding catalysts strain dynamic behaviours is crucial for the development of cost-
effective, efficient, stable and long-lasting catalysts. Here, we reveal in situ three …

The influences of biological, chemical, and flow processes on soil structure through
microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) are not yet fully understood. In this study …

Zeolites exhibit framework flexibility driving their chemical and catalytic properties. Since the
zeolitic pores are extremely small, a slight strain generated in the crystal induces compelling …

Compton scattering is generally neglected in diffraction experiments because the incoherent
radiation it generates does not give rise to interference effects and therefore is negligible at …

Using operando Bragg coherent x-ray diffraction imaging, we visualised three-dimensionally
a single twinned-gold nanocrystal during the CO oxidation reaction. We describe the defect …

Understanding of complex structure-function relationships is crucial in designing catalytic
materials with optimized properties. The past 20 years have seen significant progress in the …

The Cateretê beamline at Sirius, the new Brazilian synchrotron light source will be dedicated
to coherent and time-resolved scattering experiments. It will provide unique capabilities …

Nesta tese de doutorado, propusemo-nos a sintetizar nanopartículas de platina (Pt) por rota
de redução clássica, utilizando borohidreto de sódio e ácido ascórbico, pela roda …
