Beamline measurements at Solaris in Kraków (22-25 March)

Our team members (J. Ignaczak, B. Lemieszek, and K. Lankauf) have just finished a measurement session at the National Synchrotron Radiation Centre at the XAS beamline (beamtime number 212054).
The studies concerned the structure of oxide spinels based on MnCo2O4, where we substitute part of Co by Fe and study these novel materials for their electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution.
We are grateful for the measurement opportunity!
