Capturing the Dynamics of Matter in Real-Time
Precision Time-Resolved X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (TRXAS) with Millisecond Resolution
The TRXAS beamline (BL2.2) at the Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI) is designed for high-speed measurement of electronic and local atomic structures. By utilizing an Energy Dispersive XAS (ED-XAS) scheme, researchers can observe chemical transformations and structural changes as they happen in real-time.
Key Features
25 ms
Ultra-Fast Detection
Record full XAS spectra in as little as 25 milliseconds.
4 – 12 keV
Versatile Energy Range
Covers the 4 keV to 12 keV range, suitable for elements from Ti to Pt.
In-situ
In-situ Optimization
Specialized for experiments under applied conditions.
Applications
Leading facility for research in
Batteries
- Study lithium extraction and insertion mechanisms in materials.
- Monitor dynamic phase transformations and metastable phase formation during charge–discharge cycles.
Catalysts
- Investigate oxidation states and coordination during Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR).
- Monitor catalyst activation and deactivation under various gas atmospheres (H2, O2, CO, etc.).
Thin Film
- Real-time monitoring of electro-deposition processes for alloys like Fe-Ni.
- Observe atomic relocation and oxidation state changes during thermal annealing.
