BL10-2b

    Overview

    Beam line currently closed for upgrade.

    Beam line 10-2 is a wiggler-based source that will split time between the rear hutch (BL10-2b), instrumented for x-ray absorption spectroscopy for in-situ/operando studies of energy-related materials with a focus on time-resolved studies, and the front hutch (BL10-2a), instrumented for wide-angle x-ray scattering. The BL10-2b hutch is equipped with integrated systems for conducting in-situ/operando thermal-heterogeneous catalysis and electro-catalysis experiments with a suite of in-situ experimental cells and product analytics for time-resolved studies. Spectra can be collected at rates up to 50 ms/XAS spectrum using the quick-scanning mode of the monochromator.
