Catalysis Discussion Session Summary1) What are the key scientific drivers? What experiments will NSLS-II
enable that are not presently possible?Complexity of metal nanocatalysts; structure-function relationship;Role in catalysis:
Cluster-support/adsorbate interactions, structural relaxationStructural dynamics, site selectivityIndividual nanoparticle structure and reactivity (presently hindered by
heterogeneity and size polydispersity)Kineticsin situ reactivity
Nanoscale measurementsCombined XAFS/XRD/DAFS (static, time-resolved (min), Quick (<s))High energy XRD (PDF)High pressure XPS High resolution fluorescence detection (secondary emission)

2) What technical capabilities will these require? (Beamlines, endstations, undulators…)
Nanoscale beam size (hard x-ray nanoprobe)High flux/high energy cutoff (damping wiggler or undulator)3-pole wiggler beamlinesSoft x-ray beamline (NEXAFS, XPS)
3) Estimate of community size.
50-60 university/national lab/industry groups
4) What detector requirements does this field have? Do these require R+D?
Timing (0.1 s) limitation in ion-chambersSaturation problem with existing solid state detectorsUse of crystal analyzers (LSR based etc.)Fluorescence analyzers for high energy resolution fluorescenceArea detector

5) What software and computing infrastructure requirements are there? (Control, data acquisition, analysis)
QXAFS and its software are itself an ongoing R&DNeed in developing rapid throughput data analysisAccess to state of the art numerical methods (DFT/MD/Monte-Carlo)
(collaboration with BNL)
6) Any particular conventional facility requirements?
Chemistry labs, special gas handling (pure H2, CO)
