Welcome to Co-ACCESS!

We are here to help any catalysis science user group to readily apply the capabilities at SSRL into their research program, especially operando studies.

Co-ACCESS

Co-ACCESS

Consortium for Operando and Advanced Catalyst Characterization via Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure

Co-ACCESS, a task within SUNCAT, provides the experimental capabilities (e.g.  process control systems, operando cells, product analytics) and expertise at the synchrotron to guide the catalysis researcher through all aspects of a beamline experiment, from the initial idea to the publishing of a manuscript.
