Workshop 7: In Situ Chemical Processes Studied by
Synchrotron X-rays

Co-organizers: Lin Chen and Katie Carrado
Bldg. 402, APS Conference Center, Room E1100/E1200

Themes:

Knowledge of molecular identities and structures during the course of chemical reactions is crucial in understanding fundamental aspects of molecular reactivities and reaction mechanisms. This workshop presents frontier in-situ chemistry research in catalysis, electrochemistry, polymer synthesis, and combustion processes using x-rays, as well as recent technical development in dynamics studies at the APS.
