Large scale research facilities, synchrotron radiation centres, have played a crucial role in fundamental discoveries and in the development of novel functional materials. This is thanks to advancing experimental methods based on superior radiation properties of storage ring based light sources. Namely, high brilliance of the radiation, specific time structure in ns-time domain and wide energy...
Tracking the structure of heterogeneous catalysts under operando conditions remains a challenge due to the paucity of experimental techniques that can provide atomic-level information for catalytic metal species. Here we report on the use of X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and artificial neural network for refining the three-dimensional geometry of metal catalysts....
