Catalytic processes are essential and crucial to chemical, energy and environmental industries. The manufacture of catalysts itself is also an important production sector. Catalyst development is the key in these areas and new catalysts will allow more efficient production processes and invention of new products. All these will rely on comprehensive and in-depth understanding of catalyst properties and catalytic reaction mechanism. Synchrotron radiation and its use in material characterization and in situ catalytic reaction investigation is the powerful and exceptional tool to facilitate this understanding.
