Conference on Operando Characterization of Interface-Driven Catalysts: New Developments

ITCP, KIT

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Conference on Operando Characterization of Interface-Driven Catalysts: New Developments. This seminal event will take place from 4th to 7th November 2025 at the GenoHotel in Karlsruhe, Germany. The conference is dedicated to exploring cutting-edge advancements in catalyst characterization under real operating conditions. This conference will focus on operando techniques that enable the monitoring of catalytic reactions at ambient pressures, providing crucial insights to advance more efficient and selective catalyst systems. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of interfaces (in particular metal/oxide) and the activation processes of key molecules such as CO, CO2, and H2, which are fundamental to energy conversion and environmental management. Participants will gain exposure to novel methodologies for studying dynamic interactions at the catalyst interface, revealing mechanisms that drive catalytic behavior in real time. Through a series of expert plenary and keynote lectures as well as poster presentations, attendees will explore how cutting-edge operando methods are shaping the future of catalyst research. This event promises to be an invaluable platform for scientists, researchers, and practitioners interested in the forefront of catalysis and materials science. Join us to share, learn, and collaborate on pushing the boundaries of what's possible in catalytic process understanding and innovation.
