How do we learn about the electronic and atomic characteristics of novel materials for efficient catalytic activity and selectivity in catalysis? The fundamental scientific problems that we plan to understand and ultimately control called for in-situ x-ray spectroscopic characterization. Here we report the development of in-situ reaction cells for soft x-ray spectroscopic towards the studies of Co-based nanocatalysts in the catalytic reactions over the years at the Advanced Light Source. Some of the instrumentation design and fabrication principle have been referred, and a number of experimental studies of Co and CoPt nanocatalysts have been given as the examples.
