Science

To investigate the inhomogeneous distribution of chemical elements with different valence states, and to reveal non-uniform orientations of electron bonds and spins. 

Scope1：

To capture static and dynamic images of ion transfer and valence evolution in energy and catalysis processes, such as the dynamic evolution of the electrode-electrolyte interface layer in all-solid-state batteries during fabrication and operation.

Scope2：

To perform tomography on composite materials composed by light elements using spectral imaging with element-, valence- or polarization-dependent X-ray resonant scattering. Examples include analyzing the morphology of semiconductor hetero-junctions in organic photovoltaic, artificial skin, etc.

Scope3：

To enable high-contrast and high-resolution imaging of frozen biological cells within the soft X-ray water window. Multimodal imaging combined with SEM, TEM and  Super-Resolution Fluorescence Imaging.
