Abstract

The ongoing evolution of technology has facilitated the global research community to rapidly escalate the constant development of novel advancements in science. At the forefront of such achievements in the field of photocatalysis is the utilisation, and in oftentimes, the adaptation of modern instrumentation to understand photo-physical properties of complex heterostructures. For example, coupling in-situ X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy for real-time degradation of catalytic materials.
