Abstract
ConspectusA rational design of catalysts requires a knowledge of the active species and sites. Often, catalyst surfaces are dominated by spectators, which do not participate in the reaction, while the catalytically active species and sites are hidden. Modulation-excitation spectroscopy (MES) allows discrimination between active and spectator species by applying a concentration modulation, which is translated into the active (that is, actively responding) species by phase-sensitive detection (PSD).While MES has been known for a while, its combination with infrared spectroscopy (IR-MES) has been applied to the detailed mechanistic analysis of a wide range of supported metal and metal oxide catalysts only recently, used for catalytic reactions such as CO2 hydrogenation, water-gas shift, and CO and selective oxidation. The applicability of IR-MES is not limited to catalysis but has started to expand into other areas of research (e.g., gas sensing).In the context of renewable energy, CO2 hydrogenation has been a matter of intense mechanistic debate, despite its great importance for synthesis gas production and further processing to fuels and chemicals. Applying IR-MES to supported Cu and Au catalysts enabled us to discriminate between redox and associative mechanisms. While CO2 hydrogenation to CO and water follows an associative pathway with sequential H2 activation via hydrides and formation of carbon- and oxygen-containing intermediates, such as carbonates and formates, the reverse reaction, that is, the water-gas shift reaction, was shown to proceed via a redox mechanism including oxygen vacancy formation followed by reoxidation of the catalyst by CO2.Recent IR-MES studies on (supported) metal oxides have provided direct spectroscopic insight into the catalytically active sites during the selective oxidation of alkanes and alcohols. By further expanding the potential of IR-MES by transient isotopic exchange experiments, we were able to resolve the nuclearity-dependent vanadium and adsorbate dynamics of supported vanadia catalysts during oxidative dehydrogenation, highlighting the intimate interplay between the surface vanadia species and the support. The strong influence of the support material (ceria and titania) on the sequence of reaction steps provides an explanation for the different catalytic performance. Based on these mechanistic insights, the rational design of improved catalysts has been possible.Expanding the application of IR-MES to the area of gas sensing, as recently demonstrated for doped SnO2, provides access to enhanced mechanistic insight, including previously undetected surface species. Methodical challenges arising from background features associated with semiconductor metal oxides have been successfully tackled, supporting further expansion of IR-MES in the gas sensing community. Mechanistically, the application of IR-MES allows identification of the actively participating OH groups and adsorbed species (e.g., alkoxy, CO, carbonate) and monitoring of reaction sequences based on their temporal behavior, providing a level of understanding typically not accessible by steady-state methods.As outlined above, the combination of MES/PSD with IR spectroscopy constitutes a powerful approach for the identification of catalytically active species and sites, which is essential for a profound mechanistic understanding of surface reactions, greatly facilitating the rational design of catalysts and other functional materials.

Abstract
Catalysts can undergo structural changes during the reaction, affecting the number and/or the shape of active sites. For example, Rh can undergo interconversion between nanoparticles and single atoms when CO is present in the reaction mixture. Therefore, calculating a turnover frequency in such cases can be challenging as the number of active sites can change depending on the reaction conditions. Here, we use CO oxidation kinetics to track Rh structural changes occurring during the reaction. The apparent activation energy, considering the nanoparticles as the active sites, was constant in different temperature regimes. However, in a stoichiometric excess of O2, there were observed changes in the pre-exponential factor, which we link to changes in the number of active Rh sites. An excess of O2 enhanced CO-induced Rh nanoparticle disintegration into single atoms, affecting catalyst activity. The temperature at which these structural changes occur depend on Rh particle size, with small particle sizes disintegrating at higher temperature, relative to the temperature required to break apart bigger particles. Rh structural changes were also observed during in situ infrared spectroscopic studies. Combining CO oxidation kinetics and spectroscopic studies allowed us to calculate the turnover frequency before and after nanoparticle redispersion into single atoms.

Abstract
The combination of complementary techniques in the characterization of catalysts under working conditions is a very powerful tool for an accurate and in-depth comprehension of the system investigated. In particular, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) coupled with diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and mass spectroscopy (MS) is a powerful combination since XAS characterizes the main elements of the catalytic system (selecting the absorption edge) and DRIFTS monitors surface adsorbates while MS enables product identification and quantification. In the present manuscript, a new reactor cell and an experimental setup optimized to perform time-resolved experiments on heterogeneous catalysts under working conditions are reported. A key feature of this setup is the possibility to work at high temperature and pressure, with a small cell dead volume. To demonstrate these capabilities, performance tests with and without X-rays are performed. The effective temperature at the sample surface, the speed to purge the gas volume inside the cell and catalytic activity have been evaluated to demonstrate the reliability and usefulness of the cell. The setup capability of combining XAS, DRIFTS and MS spectroscopies is demonstrated in a time-resolved experiment, following the reduction of NO by Rh nanoparticles supported on alumina.

Abstract
In this work, the reforming of model biogas was investigated on a Rh/MgAl2 O4 catalyst. In situ transient and steady-state diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) measurements were used to gain insight into the reaction mechanism involved in the activation of CH4 and CO2 . It was found that the reaction proceeds through of an initial pathway in which methane and CO2 are both dissociated on Rh metallic sites and additionally a bifunctional mechanism in which methane is activated on Rh sites and CO2 is activated on the basic sites of the support surface via a formate intermediate by H-assisted CO2 decomposition. Moreover, this plausible mechanism is able to explain why the observed apparent activation energy of CO2 is much lower than that of CH4 . Our results suggest that CO2 dissociation facilitates CH4 activation, because the oxygen-adsorbed species formed in the decomposition of CO2 are capable of reacting with the CHx species derived from methane decomposition.

Abstract
The 2-4 keV energy range provides a rich window into many facets of materials science and chemistry. Within this window, P, S, Cl, K and Ca K-edges may be found along with the L-edges of industrially important elements from Y through to Sn. Yet, compared with those that cater for energies above ca. 4-5 keV, there are relatively few resources available for X-ray spectroscopy below these energies. In addition, in situ or operando studies become to varying degrees more challenging than at higher X-ray energies due to restrictions imposed by the lower energies of the X-rays upon the design and construction of appropriate sample environments. The XMaS beamline at the ESRF has recently made efforts to extend its operational energy range to include this softer end of the X-ray spectrum. In this report the resulting performance of this resource for X-ray spectroscopy is detailed with specific attention drawn to: understanding electrostatic and charge transfer effects at the S K-edge in ionic liquids; quantification of dilution limits at the Cl K- and Rh L3-edges and structural equilibria in solution; in vacuum deposition and reduction of [Rh(I)(CO)2Cl]2 to γ-Al2O3; contamination of γ-Al2O3 by Cl and its potential role in determining the chemical character of supported Rh catalysts; and the development of chlorinated Pd catalysts in `green' solvent systems. Sample environments thus far developed are also presented, characterized and their overall performance evaluated.

Abstract
Infrared absorption spectroscopy has proven to be one of the most powerful spectroscopic techniques available for the characterization of catalytic systems. Although the history of IR absorption spectroscopy in catalysis is long, the technique continues to provide key fundamental information about a variety of catalysts and catalytic reactions, and to also offer novel options for the acquisition of new information on both reaction mechanisms and the nature of the solids used as catalysts. In this review, an overview is provided of the main contributions that have been derived from IR absorption spectroscopy studies of catalytic systems, and a discussion is included on new trends and new potential directions of research involving IR in catalysis. We start by briefly describing the power of Fourier-transform IR (FTIR) instruments and the main experimental IR setups available, namely, transmission (TIR), diffuse reflectance (DRIFTS), attenuated total reflection (ATR-IR), and reflection-absorption (RAIRS), for advancing research in catalysis. We then discuss the different environments under which IR characterization of catalysts is carried out, including in situ and operando studies of typical catalytic processes in gas-phase, research with model catalysts in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and so-called high-pressure cell instruments, and work involving liquid/solid interfaces. A presentation of the type of information extracted from IR data follows in terms of the identification of adsorbed intermediates, the characterization of the surfaces of the catalysts themselves, the quantitation of IR intensities to extract surface coverages, and the use of probe molecules to identify and titrate specific catalytic sites. Finally, the different options for carrying out kinetic studies with temporal resolution such as rapid-scan FTIR, step-scan FTIR, and the use of tunable lasers or synchrotron sources, and to obtain spatially resolved spectra, by sample rastering or by 2D imaging, are introduced.

The effects of ceria and zirconia on the structure-function properties of supported rhodium catalysts (1.6 and 4 wt % Rh/γ-Al2O3) during CO exposure are described. Ceria and zirconia are introduced through two preparation methods: 1) ceria is deposited on γ-Al2O3 from [Ce(acac)3] and rhodium metal is subsequently added, and 2) through the controlled surface modification (CSM) technique, which involves the decomposition of [M(acac)x] (M=Ce, x=3; M=Zr, x=4) on Rh/γ-Al2O3. The structure-function correlations of ceria and/or zirconia-doped rhodium catalysts are investigated by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy/energy-dispersive extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy/mass spectrometry (DRIFTS/EDE/MS) under time-resolved, in situ conditions. CeOx and ZrO2 facilitate the protection of Rh particles against extensive oxidation in air and CO. Larger Rh core particles of ceriated and zirconiated Rh catalysts prepared by CSM are observed and compared with Rh/γ-Al2O3 samples, whereas supported Rh particles are easily disrupted by CO forming mononuclear Rh geminal dicarbonyl species. DRIFTS results indicate that, through the interaction of CO with ceriated Rh particles, a significantly larger amount of linear CO species form; this suggests the predominance of a metallic Rh phase.

Abstract
We describe a novel cell used to combine in situ transmission X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) in a single experiment. The novelty of the cell design compared to current examples is that both radiations are passed through an X-ray and IR transparent window in direct contact with the sample. This innovative geometry also offers a wide surface for IR collection. In order to avoid interference from the crystalline IR transparent materials (e.g., CaF2, MgF2, diamond) a 500 μm carbon filled hole is laser drilled in the center of a CaF2 window. The cell is designed to represent a plug flow reactor, has reduced dead volume in order to allow for fast exchange of gases and is therefore suitable for experiments under fast transients, e.g., according to the concentration modulation approach. High quality time-resolved XAS and DRIFTS data of a 2 wt.% Pt/Al2O3 catalyst are obtained in concentration modulation experiments where CO (or H2) pulses are alternated to O2 pulses at 150 °C. We show that additional information can be obtained on the Pt redox dynamic under working conditions thanks to the improved sensitivity given by the modulation approach followed by Phase Sensitive Detection (PSD) analysis. It is anticipated that the design of the novel cell is likely suitable for a number of other in situ spectroscopic and diffraction methods.

Abstract
X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are suitable probes of the chemical state of a catalyst under working conditions but are limited to bulk information. Here we show in two case studies related to hydrothermal aging and chemical modification of model automotive catalysts that enhanced detailed information of structural changes can be obtained when the two methods are combined with a concentration modulated excitation (cME) approach and phase sensitive detection (PSD). The catalysts are subject to a modulation experiment consisting of the periodic variation of the gas feed composition to the catalyst and the time-resolved data are additionally treated by PSD. In the case of a 2 wt% Rh/Al2O3 catalyst, a very small fraction (ca. 2%) of Rh remaining exposed at the alumina surface after hydrothermal aging at 1273 K can be detected by PSD. This Rh is sensitive to the red-ox oscillations of the experiment and is likely responsible for the observed catalytic activity and selectivity during NO reduction by CO. In the case of a 1.6 wt% Pd/Al2O3-Ce(1-x)Zr(x)O2 catalyst, preliminary results of cME-XRD demonstrate that access to the kinetics of the whole material at work can be obtained. Both the red-ox processes involving the oxygen storage support and the Pd component can be followed with great precision. PSD enables the differentiation between Pd deposited on Al2O3 or on Ce(1-x)Zr(x)O2. Modification of the catalyst by phosphorous clearly induces loss of the structural dynamics required for oxygen storage capacity that is provided by the Ce(4+)/Ce(3+) pair. The two case studies demonstrate that detailed kinetics of subtle changes can be uncovered by the combination of in situ X-ray absorption and high energy diffraction methods with PSD.

Abstract
Third-generation storage rings are modern facilities working with high currents and designed to host powerful radiation sources, like undulators and wigglers, and to deliver high-brilliance beams to users. Many experiments at high spatial resolution, such as spectromicroscopy at the nanometre scale and with high temporal resolution to investigate kinetics down to the picosecond regime, are now possible. The next frontier is certainly the combination of different methods in a unique set-up with the ultimate available spatial and temporal resolutions. In the last decade much synchrotron-based research has exploited the advantage of complementary information provided by time-resolved X-ray techniques and optical methods in the UV/Vis and IR domains. New time-resolved and concurrent approaches are necessary to characterize complex systems where physical-chemical phenomena occur under the same experimental conditions, for example to detect kinetic intermediates via complementary but independent observations. In this contribution we present scientific cases from original works and literature reviews to support the proposed IR/X-ray simultaneous approach, with both probes exploiting synchrotron radiation sources. In addition, simple experimental layouts that may take advantage of the high brilliance and the wide spectral distribution of the synchrotron radiation emission will be given for specific researches or applications to investigate dynamic processes and non-equilibrium phenomena occurring in many condensed matter and biological systems, of great interest for both fundamental research and technological applications.

Abstract
Our ever advancing abilities to examine nanosize metals and/or oxides with atomic and/or high temporal resolution have recently started to reveal much that is new about the behaviour of such systems. In many cases the notion of passive entities, upon which catalytic events occur, has been overturned, and with it many ideas that for a long time were axiomatic to the understanding of their behaviour. In its place a world of structuro-reactive dynamism is starting to appear wherein the atomic scale structure and reactivity are intimately tied to the nature of the environment being experienced. The aim of this tutorial review is to introduce the reader to these phenomena, to discuss how we might observe and categorise differing types of dynamic change, and to give some specific examples of where and how this fundamental structural dynamism can be tangibly linked to the reactive behaviour of heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Spatially and temporally resolved energy-dispersive EXAFS (EDE) has been utilised in situ to study supported Rh nanoparticles during CO oxidation by O2 under plug-flow conditions. Three distinct phases of Rh supported upon Al2O3 were identified by using EDE at the Rh K-edge during CO oxidation. Their presence and interconversion are related to the efficiency of the catalysts in oxidising CO to CO2. A metallic phase is only found at higher temperatures (>450 K) and CO fractions (CO/O2 > 1); an oxidic phase resembling Rh2O3 dominates the active catalyst under oxygen-rich conditions. Below about 573 K, and in CO-rich environments, high proportions of isolated Rh(I)(CO)2 species are found to co-exist with metallic Rh nanoparticles. Alongside these discrete situations a large proportion of the active phase space comprises small Rh cores surrounded by layers of active oxide. Confinement of Rh to nanoscale domains induces structural lability that influences catalytic behaviour. For CO oxidation over Rh/Al2O3 there are two redox phase equilibria alongside the chemistry of CO and O adsorbed upon extended Rh surfaces.
