Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

Almost 100 years after the discovery of the Raman scattering phenomenon, related
analytical techniques have emerged as important tools in biomedical sciences. Raman …

Solid catalysts are the workhorses that convert feedstock molecules into fuels, chemicals
and materials. Solid catalysts are highly complex, porous, multi-elemental and often …

The literature for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) on supported Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2
catalysts is systematically and critically reviewed. The influence of the precursors, starting …

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 …

The molecular aspect of the Raman vibrational selection rules allows for the molecular
structural and reactivity determinations of metal oxide catalytic active sites in all types of …

This review highlights in situ UV–vis–NIR range absorption spectroscopy in catalysis. A
variety of experimental techniques identifying reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and structural …

Biomass is a widely used renewable energy source, whose uptake is growing due to
concerns about the impact of anthropogenic fossil fuel combustion on climate change …

Because of the ability to directly probe the catalyst under reaction conditions, operando
studies have significantly improved the catalysis literature. The number of operando …

In this perspective, the HERFD-XANES (high energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray
absorption near edge structure) and Kβ2, 5-or V2C-XES (valence-to-core X-ray emission …
