Scientific Abstract
Scientific Abstract
A01 aims at understanding the catalytic properties of SCALMS and the dynamic behaviour of the active sites at the gas/liquid interface to enable their knowledge-based improvement. We will study model and real-world cata-lysts in UHV and near-ambient pressure to technical operating conditions. Towards providing a full “depth-resolved” picture, we will employ laboratory- and synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopic techniques with specific surface or bulk sensitivity. The fundamental studies will reveal details such as the metal distribution in the liquid alloy, its (de-)wetting behaviour on supports, its electronic structure, as well as its behaviour and surface chemistry as a function of temperature and pressure.
