The main objective of this congress is to bring researchers together to discuss the progress of operando methodologies, i.e., the characterization of functional materials in their working state. In operando studies, physicochemical methods probe the behavior of working materials while their performance is measured simultaneously. The operando approach is suited to elucidate catalyst structure–activity relationships at the molecular level.
