Laboratory Scale X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Setup

The object of this procurement is a complete turnkey laboratory scale X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) setup suitable for studying various materials. The various types of samples to be analysed with the system include, for example, semiconductors, (photo)catalyst materials, battery materials, solids, powders and liquid solutions. The XAS setup shall be adaptable with different types of sample environments for in situ / operando materials and process research in the fields of, among others, catalysis, battery research, corrosion research, etc.

(e.g. at elevated temperatures and various gas atmospheres, liquid environments and/or electrochemical cycling). The procurement is funded by the Research Council of Finland, FIRI 2024: roadmap for national research infrastructures 2025–2028 under project Operando research infrastructure for energy materials and systems.
