Description
MAX IV operates a suite of instruments dedicated to X-ray spectroscopy, several of which offer advanced operando and in-situ methods to study materials under operational conditions. Specifically, on the 3 GeV ring, the worlds first operational 4th generation synchrotron light source, the HIPPIE beamline provides extensive state-of-the-art ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy instrumentation.
This talk will overview our latest developments, focussing on time resolved methods to probe reaction kinetics and new sample environments that unlock new possibilities. Highlights will include a new reaction cell allowing measurements at high temperatures with inbuilt valves for controlling gas flow, our first studies in plasma environments, a demonstration of APXPS combined with IR spectroscopy, and our first steps in the direction of time-resolved electrochemical APXPS.
