Synchrotron radiation & heterogeneous catalysis : the very first steps

What is it about?

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of beamlines dedicated to X-ray absorption spectroscopy allowed the execution of experiments in chemistry. In this manuscript, I describe the contribution of François Garin at the frontier of heterogeneous catalysis and synchrotron radiation.

Why is it important?

In this contribution, devoted to the research by F. Garin, I describe some of his contributions at the frontier of heterogeneous catalysis and synchrotron radiation and try to show how this research is clearly at the origin of current research in heterogeneous catalysis.
