“…While this approach and its variations have a strong potential to accelerate drug-discovery applications using difficult-to-crystallize membrane proteins, their broader acceptance by academic and industrial laboratories may be limited by the shortage of available XFEL beamtime. Recent demonstrations of serial crystallography at synchrotron sources (Martin-Garcia et al, 2017;Meents et al, 2017;Weinert et al, 2017) indicate that new-generation diffractionlimited storage rings and other related developments (Eberhardt, 2015;Yabashi & Tanaka, 2017) promise to deliver crystallographic data from micrometre-sized crystals that are comparable in quality to those from XFELs. We believe that these advancements will produce a strong impact on the development of more efficient and safe therapies.…”

“…To answer these questions, time-and space-resolved in situ/operando XAS combined with other characterization techniques is highly required. With the recent development of diffraction-limited storage ring technique [98,99], the Xray nanoprobe method with high beam flux and brilliance is highly promising, which can be greatly beneficial for better understanding of the reaction mechanism of Li-S batteries in the future.…”

Because of the high theoretical energy density of 2600 Wh kg −1 , lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising energy storage technologies to meet the increasing requirement from personal devices to automobiles. However, the practical application of Li-S batteries is still challenging due to technical obstacles, such as low sulfur utilization and poor lifetime. Therefore, understanding the electrode reaction mechanism is of critical importance to further improve the battery performance and lifetime. Here, we review recent progress in the application of in situ and operando Xray absorption spectroscopy in characterizing Li-S batteries. We discuss in detail how this advanced technique helps researchers understand the redox process of the electrode materials as well as the influence of polymer binder and electrolyte additive on the polysulfide shuttle effect, which provide valuable information for designing better Li-S batteries. A general conclusion and critical further research directions are also provided at the end.

“…Diffraction limited storage rings such as NSLS II, Max IV and Sirius will provide at least an order of magnitude improvement in brightness and coherence in the soft X-ray region (and even more dramatic increases in the hard X-ray region) [62][63][64] which will provide large improvements in the performance of zone plate optics and coherent diffraction signals. With these new sources the point probe techniques -STXM, SPEM and ptychography -will have significantly improved performance and throughput.…”

a b s t r a c tInstrumentation and current capabilities of soft X-ray (50-2000 eV) spectromicroscopy are outlined with examples from recently published and some new work. Four common techniques are treated-transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM), scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM) and scanning photoemission microscopy (SPEM). I also present a fifth, emerging technique, that of soft X-ray spectro-ptychography which has significantly improved spatial resolution and provides new contrast mechanisms. Perspectives for near future (5-10 years) evolution of soft X-ray spectromicroscopy are outlined based on current trends and instrumentation under development.
