abstract = {The possibilities of the operando XAS analysis of catalysts
will be presented on two casestudies of promising new
catalytic materials: alkali doped nano-dispersed copper
oxideclusters on ordered mesoporous SiO2, which is highly
active and selective towards propyleneepoxidation [1], and
nanoshaped CuO/CeO2 catalysts used in N2O decomposition
reaction [2].Operando Cu K-edge and Ce L3-edge XANES and
EXAFS analysis was performed duringcatalytic reactions under
controlled reaction conditions in a tubular reactor filled
withprotective He atmosphere at 1 bar. The spectra were
measured before the reaction at RT, thenduring heating, and
during catalytic reaction at 400 °C under controlled
atmosphere.Operando XANES analysis is used to monitor the
changes in valence states and localsymmetries of Cu and Ce
cations in the catalysts. A partial reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+
and Cu0and Ce4+ to Ce3+ species was detected during catalyst
activation, and re-oxidation duringcatalytic reaction.
Different dynamics of reaching a quasi-steady oxidation
state were revealedas the tested catalysts approached the
quasi-steady state after 300 min of reaction.Operando EXAFS
spectra are used to precisely determine local structure of
Cu and Cecations, to identify structural characteristics and
changes of Cu and Ce species during thecatalytic reactions.
In this way, the active site in the catalytic reactions can
be identified andthe mechanism of the reaction clarified.The
results of operando XAS analyses are crucial to guide
further material modification, toobtain more effective
catalyst, and material which is more resistant to inhibiting
effects thatcause catalyst deactivation during catalytic
reaction.},
