The invention provides an X-
ray absorption spectrum characterization
system and an X-
ray absorption spectrum characterization method for electrochemical reaction under a high-current working condition. A high-current electrochemical
workstation provides
current density not lower than that of a working condition electrolytic tank; the working condition electrolytic tank comprises a
working electrode chamber and a counter
electrode chamber which are oppositely arranged, and an
ion exchange membrane arranged between the
working electrode chamber and the counter
electrode chamber; the
working electrode chamber comprises a current-conducting plate made of a
metal sheet, a working
electrode loaded with a catalyst is arranged on one side, facing the
ion exchange membrane, of the current-conducting plate, and a hollow flow channel is formed in the central area of the working electrode chamber; the working electrode chamber further comprises an X-
ray window sheet for transmission of incident X-rays and fluorescent X-rays generated by the catalyst; the counter electrode chamber is provided with an
electrolyte flow channel, and a counter electrode is arranged on one side, facing the
ion exchange membrane, of the counter electrode chamber; and the
electrolyte control system is used for realizing circulating flow of the
electrolyte. Under the working conditions of
high current density, strong bubble effect and high X-ray absorption, in-situ, real-time and high
signal-to-
noise ratio characterization of the
microstructure of the catalyst can be realized.
