In the last decades, Raman spectroscopy has become an important tool to identify and investigate minerals, gases, glasses, and organic material at room temperature. In combination with high-temperature and high-pressure devices, however, the in situ investigation of mineral transformation reactions and their kinetics is nowadays also possible. Here, we present a novel approach to in situ studies for the sintering process of silicate ceramics by hyperspectral Raman imaging. This imaging technique allows studying high-temperature solid-solid and/or solid-melt reactions spatially and temporally resolved, and opens up new avenues to study and visualize high-temperature sintering processes in multi-component systems. After describing in detail the methodology, the results of three application examples are presented and discussed. These experiments demonstrate the power of hyperspectral Raman imaging for in situ studies of the mechanism(s) of solid-solid or solid-melt reactions at high-temperature with a micrometer-scale resolution as well as to gain kinetic information from the temperature- and time-dependent growth and breakdown of minerals during isothermal or isochronal sintering.

Water must be effectively transported and is also essential for maximizing proton conductivity within fuel-cell proton-exchange membranes (PEMs). Therefore, identifying relationships between PEM properties, water transport, and proton conductivity is essential for designing optimal PEMs. Here, we use coherent Raman spectroscopy to quantify real-time, in situ diffusivities of water subspecies, bulk-like and nonbulk-like (interfacial) water, in five different perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) PEMs. Although the PEMs were chemically diverse, water transport within them followed the same rule: Total water diffusivity could be represented by a linear combination of the bulk-like and interfacial water diffusivities. Moreover, the diffusivity of interfacial water was consistently larger than that of bulk-like water. These measurements of microscopic transport were combined with through-plane proton conductivity measurements to reveal the correlation between interfacial water transport and proton conductivity. Our results demonstrate the importance of maximizing the diffusivity and fractional contribution of interfacial water to maximize the proton conductivity in PFSA PEMs.
