Synopsis

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has become a standard practice technique, and automated XPS facilities can be found in industry and in universities all over the world. This transformed XPS from an advanced characterization method for dedicated research, to a rather standard analysis technique of surface analysis. The catalyst's surface state is probably the most prominent factor that influences the catalytic performance. It is therefore no surprise that XPS has become an indispensable tool in studies of solid catalysts. It has been directly used to investigate issues such as the surface composition of the active catalyst and reaction and deactivation mechanisms. The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status and future perspectives of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy dedicated to catalytic applications, including thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photo(electro)catalysis. The book contains 13 chapters, starting with the necessary introduction of the technique background, including basic phenomena and instrumentation aspects. The second part of the book focuses on the presentation of long-established applications of the technique, such as XPS studies of model catalysts. Finally, the book describes relatively recent developments of this method for cutting-edge surface characterization mainly using synchrotron X-ray radiation.

À propos de l?auteur

Spyridon Zafeiratos received his PhD from the University of Patras (Greece). In 2004, he was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship from the Max-Planck Society and joined the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Fritz-Haber Institute in Berlin, to work on the application of ambient pressure XPS to heterogeneous catalysis. In 2007 he was appointed CNRS associated researcher (CR) at the IPCEES institute in Strasbourg and in 2018 was promoted to research director (DR) at the same institute. He earned his habilitation from the University of Strasbourg in 2011 on bimetallic surfaces in reactive environments. Currently, his research covers studies on heterogeneous catalysts as well as, electrochemical processes for fuel cell and electrolysis applications. He has co-authored about 130 peer-reviewed publications, 4 book chapters and he is the editor of a book published by Elsevier.
