XAFCA: a new XAFS beamline for catalysis research.
A new X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) spectroscopy beamline for fundamental and applied catalysis research, called XAFCA, has been built by the Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences, and the Singapore Synchrotron Light Source. XAFCA covers the photon energy range from 1.2 to 12.8 keV, making use of two sets of monochromator crystals, an Si (111) crystal for the range from 2.1 to 12.8 keV and a KTiOPO4 crystal [KTP (011)] for the range between 1.2 and 2.8 keV. Experiments can be carried out in the temperature range from 4.2 to 1000 K and pressures up to 30 bar for catalysis research. A safety system has been incorporated, allowing the use of flammable and toxic gases such as H2 and CO.
