Using Full-field Transmission hard X-ray Microscopy (TXM) at SSRL, we performed operando (350C and 10 bar) imaging of a Ruhrchemie FTO catalyst at nm-scale resolution. Following single-pixel XANES at the Fe K-edge  we correlated catalyst reaction chemistry with specific chemical forms within the starting particle.
