Recent rapid development and implementation of 4th generation synchrotron sources and free electron lasers opens further opportunities to study materials with high-intensity, coherent X-ray beams. Development of new techniques, together with the improvement of more established approaches, allows unprecedented insight and holistic understanding of the structure, chemical environment, and electronic structure across a broad range of length scales from the atomic scale to macroscopic scales, over time scales from femtoseconds to minutes, hours and days in a variety of conditions from ultra-high vacuum to ambient pressure to high pressures. In this mini-symposium, we will highlight some recent scientific advances in characterizing energy conversion and storage materials, and quantum materials.
