Me and my collegues are building instruments which aims to study catalytic chemical reacitons using different kinds och X-ray spectroscopic techniques. WE are developing the instrument to move towards ultrafast and in-operando conditions, which allows us to study reaction mechanisms and transition states under industrially applicable conditions - in contrast to the frictionless vacuum where our models are usually built from.

Our instruments are then moved to different X-ray light source facilities around the globe, and we use the element specific spectroscopic techniques of the X-rays to study hydrogenation reactions of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
