High-Throughput Synchrotron Characterization

About
The Team “High-Throughput Synchrotron Characterization” develops approaches and methodologies to perform high-throughput experiments at synchrotron X-ray sources. The focus is on the investigation of materials and devices for chemical hydrogen storage. However, the developments are also transferable to other energy-relevant systems, e.g. batteries, electrolyzers, and photovoltaic systems. For this purpose, we develop dedicated sample environments, cells and reactors that reproduce real conditions. These are then integrated into setups according to the respective boundary conditions, which enable high-throughput experiments in the fields of scattering/diffraction, spectroscopy and imaging. In addition, we develop the corresponding combinatorial experimental protocols to utilize the beam times in the most efficient way.
Research Topics
- Development of high-throughput experimental methodologies for synchrotron-based analyses (e.g. X-ray scattering, diffraction, spectroscopy, and imaging) of materials and devices
- Design and implementation of realistic sample environments in reactor-scale for combinatorial operando measurements
- Establishment of combinatorial protocols for maximized beamtime utilization for operando experiments
