In-situ X-ray Diffraction (XRD) Analytical Service

Overview

In-situ XRD (X-ray Diffraction) is a technique used to monitor structural changes in materials in real-time under specific conditions, such as during heating, cooling, pressurization, or chemical reactions. It provides valuable insights into phase transitions, crystal structure evolution, and reaction mechanisms. This technique is widely applied in fields like battery research, catalysis, material science, and metallurgy, allowing researchers to study dynamic processes directly and optimize material performance.

Testing Range

• Available atmospheres: nitrogen, argon, vacuum, air, etc.
  
• Temperature range: -180°C to 1100°C.

Sample Requirements:

• Powder samples: Prepare at least 50 mg, preferably 0.1 g or more. Smaller quantities can be used with a micro-chamber, though the results may not be optimal. The sample should have uniform particle size (approximately 45 µm or passed through a 200-mesh sieve) and feel smooth to the touch, resembling flour.

• Bulk samples: Dimensions should be 1–2 cm in length and width (generally not smaller than 1 cm) with a thickness of 3 mm. The testing surface must be specified, and it should be flat and clean.

Instrument Model: SmartLab-9kW, PANalytical Empyrean X-ray Diffractometer, etc.
