- Lab scale fixed-bed reactor is applied for operando transmission X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for structure-activity studies of supported metal oxide catalysts under real reaction conditions. This setup includes many properties of an optimal fixed-bed reactor for operando transmission XAS studies. For instance, it is usable in a wide range of temperature (up to 1,000°C), pressure and space velocity. Besides, this operando setup can be used for transmission XAS measurements in a wide edge energy range. The potential of this reactor for operando transmission XAS is demonstrated by, as examples, the three-way catalytic performance of Pd/Al2O3/CeZrO2 and Rh/Al2O3
