Application of Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy to Catalysis 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of surface science with Application of Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy to Catalysis, 1st Edition by Franklin Tao. This definitive text translates complex instrumentation into practical insights for researchers and engineers exploring real-world catalytic processes.

Step into the world of Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (AP-XPS)—the breakthrough technique that reveals surface chemistry under realistic gas pressures and temperatures. Franklin Tao guides readers through the fundamentals and advanced applications, from operando measurements to interpreting dynamic reaction intermediates. Clear explanations of experimental design, data interpretation, and limitations make the book invaluable for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners.

Discover case studies that connect AP-XPS observations to catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, and performance optimization across heterogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, and environmental catalysis. Emphasis on in situ and operando methodologies helps bridge the gap between laboratory surface science and industrial-scale challenges, making the content highly relevant to academic labs, R&D centers, and catalysis engineers across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific.

Technical yet accessible, the book prioritizes practical application: troubleshooting tips, best-practice protocols, and strategies for integrating AP-XPS with complementary techniques like IR and mass spectrometry. Researchers will gain actionable knowledge to advance materials characterization, accelerate catalyst development, and publish robust mechanistic studies.

Whether you’re a graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, or industry scientist, this authoritative volume by Franklin Tao is a must-have reference for anyone serious about modern catalysis research. Enhance your laboratory toolkit—add Application of Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy to Catalysis to your collection and stay at the forefront of surface analysis and catalytic innovation.
