Liquid Jet Ambient Pressure PES at the microfocus Open Port beamline for User Stations /UE51

The instrument SOL³PES is a state-of-the-art experimental setup to study solid, solution and solar-cell systems by soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is equipped with a high-transmission hemispherical HIPP-2 R4000 ScientaOmicron electron analyzer for detecting electrons emitted from small molecular aggregates, nanoparticles, or biochemical molecules and their components in (aqueous) solutions, either in vacuum or in an ambient pressure environment.

Hier noch ein bischen BL info (die Webseite existiert ja schon,  aber ohne viel Inhalt).

Selected Applications:
  • Investigating the metal-oxide nanoparticles / (bulk) water interface by liquid microjet PES and NAP-XPS
  • Operando resonant XPS investigation of the metal oxide / electrolyte interface using micro-electrochemical flowcells.
  • Operando transmission investigations of thin-film batteries
  • (Resonant) XPS measurements of the liquid-vapor interface and of the solute-solvent interactions investigated by the liquid microjet and flatjet technique; measurements of dissociation constants and redox properties of uncommon and textbook ions in water beyond the Debye-Hückel limit
  • Cryo-liquid photoelectron spectroscopy

Additional information Beamline details UE51_PGM-2

In addition to conventional energy-resolved electron detection, SOL3 enables detection of electron angular distributions by the combination of a ±11° acceptance angle of the electron analyzer and a rotation of the analyzer in the polarization plane of the incoming synchrotron-light beam.
