Abstract
The advancement of time-, space-, and energy-resolved in-situ characterization techniques utilizing neutron penetration and sensitivity to light elements has significantly improved our understanding of surface/interface structure-catalytic relationships in catalytic materials at atomic/molecular scales. The development of specialized sample environment equipment for catalysis is essential for enhancing in-situ characterization technology. In this study, we designed an in-situ neutron scattering sample environment capable of facilitating heterogeneous catalytic reactions (including gas-solid, liquid-solid, and gas-liquid-solid reactions) at 800 °C and 0.1 MPa. The system includes a gas-liquid controller, a catalytic reaction insert (CRI), a tail gas absorption cell, and a tail gas line. We evaluated the temperature and stress distribution during long-cycle operations through numerical simulations of the CRI, while the temperature calibration curve was established via offline testing, and background scattering measurements were obtained through online testing. We have completed the commissioning of the equipment, making it available for user operations.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
