Abstract
In the current study, the successful development of a novel in-situ X-ray diffraction cell is described. This cell allows the direct observation of crystallite changes to be made under reaction conditions and in real time. The cell permits operation up to 500°C and 25 bar to be realised, with more severe conditions being achievable upon changing the reactor component. The design is such that it can be mounted to any commercial, laboratory-scale X-ray diffractometer or synchrotron facility.
