11-ID-D provides Time-Resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (TR-XAS) and X-ray scattering (TR-XS) to investigate multiple time- and length-scale structural dynamics underlying energy conversion processes in chemistry and materials sciences. TR-XAS and TR-XS use pulsed laser energy as an excitation source, then interrogates the system with stroboscopic X-ray pulse snapshots spanning the time domain from 80 ps to 1 ms. The scientific program at 11-ID-D focuses on the correlation between electronic and structural dynamics linked to molecular and interfacial electron transfer processes that are fundamental to energy conversion in a broad range of scientific disciplines, including solar energy conversion, catalysis, geochemistry, fuel cells, and electrochemical (battery) energy storage.
