Applicatons of X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy to Catalytc Studies

From Routne Analysis to Cutng Edge Surface Characterizaton

Spyridon Zafeiratos CNRS, France & Université de Strasbourg, France

Key Features

• his book is the frst that is entrel dedicated to the applicatons o PS in catal sis research. n important eature o this book is that contains chapters dedicated to in situ operando studies in electrocatal sis and photocatal sis based on recent technological advancements, which is a relatvel novel feld o PS applicaton

• he book contains also classical applicatons o PS in heterogeneous catal st studies, like or e ample studies o model catal sts

• nother uni ue eature o this book is the descripton o the practcal aspects o the method. lthough this topic has been alread part o several books related to PS, the originalit here is that the book is addressed primaril to catal tc studies, and it is wri en b PS e perts with background in catal sis

• his book provides the essental in ormaton, without complicatng the reader with elaborate theoretcal and e perimental details which are not directl relevant or catal tc oriented studies

Descripton

XPS has become a mature technique and automated XPS facilites can be found in industry and in universites all over the world. his trans ormed PS rom an advanced characteri aton method or dedicated research, to a rather standard anal sis techni ue o sur ace anal sis. he catal st s sur ace state is probabl the most prominent actor that in uences the catal tc per ormance. t is there ore no surprise that PS has become an indispensable tool in studies o solid catal sts. t has been directl used to investgate issues such as the sur ace compositon o the actve catal st and the reacton and deactvaton mechanisms. Several e cellent essa s describe in detail the theoretcal and practcal aspects o ra photoelectron spectroscop .

he ob ectve o the book is to provide a comprehensive overview o the current status and uture perspectves o ra photoelectron spectroscop dedicated to catal tc applicatons, including thermal catal sis, electrocatal sis, and photo(electro)catal sis. he book contains 3 chapters, startng with the necessar introducton o the techni ue background, including basic phenomena and instrumentaton aspects. he second part o the book ocuses on the presentaton o long established applicatons o the techni ue such as PS studies o model catal sts. n the last part, the book describes relatvel recent developments o this method or cu ng edge sur ace characteri aton mainl using s nchrotron ra radiaton.

Editor

Spyridon Zafeiratos received his Ph rom the Universit o Patras (Greece). n 2004, he was awarded a post doctoral ellowship rom the a Planck Societ and oined the norganic Chemistr epartment o the rit Haber nsttute in erlin, to work on the applicaton o ambient pressure PS to heterogeneous catal sis. n 2007 he was appointed C S associated researcher (C ) at the PCEES insttute in Strasbourg and in 20 8 was promoted to research director ( ) at the same insttute.
