Workshop announcement

This workshop aims to provide an overview of the capabilities and applications of various in situ/operando techniques. Participants will gain insight into how these methods can be applied to different energy processes, including battery technology and (photo)catalytic reactions. The workshop will cover a range of in situ/operando techniques including UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), vibrational spectroscopies, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), highlighting their unique contributions to the field.

Observing and measuring dynamic changes within materials and systems under real operational conditions is crucial for advancing energy technologies. In situ and operando analyses have become indispensable for achieving a comprehensive understanding of energy conversion and storage processes. These techniques provide real-time data on the mechanisms at play, enabling the precise fine-tuning and optimization of both materials and process parameters to achieve significant advancements in performance and efficiency.
