Project ID: FY19-9

To develop near- ambient-pressure XPS technique for in-situ investigation of surface catalytic reaction mechanism relevant to CO₂ reduction and other small molecules activation.

We mainly focus on:

1. upgrading of NAP-XPS system with an in-situ high temperature and high pressure reaction cell, and
2. investigation of the electronic structure changes of ZnO polar surfaces after CO₂, O₂ and H₂ exposure using in situ NAP-XPS.
