Burada, pil malzeme çalışmalarda yumuşak x-ışını soğurma spektroskopisi (sXAS) ve rezonans esnek olmayan x-ışını (RIXS) uygulamaları ile saçılma tipik deneyler için bir iletişim kuralı mevcut.

Bu protokolün genel amacı, pil malzemesi çalışmalarına yumuşak X-ışını absorpsiyon spektroskopisi ve rezonans elastik olmayan X-ışını saçılımı uygulamaktır. Bu yöntem, pil alanındaki temel soruları yanıtlamak için benzersiz araçlar olarak RIXS olarak adlandırılan X-ışını absorpsiyonu ve rezonans elastik olmayan X-ışını saçılımı dahil olmak üzere yumuşak X-ışını spektroskopisinin kullanılmasıyla ilgilidir. Bu tekniğin temel avantajı, çeşitli pil malzemelerindeki kimyasal reaksiyonları doğrudan araştırabilmesi ve bu alanı geleneksel deneme yanılma yaklaşımının ötesinde geliştirebilmesidir.

Bu yöntem pil malzemeleri hakkında bilgi sağlayabilse de, katalizörler, güneş pilleri ve yarı iletkenler gibi diğer sistemlere de uygulanabilir. Bu yöntemin görsel gösterimi kritiktir, çünkü senkrotron tabanlı yumuşak X-ışını spektroskopisinin onsuz öğrenilmesi zordur. Bu protokol, tipik bir deneyin ayrıntılı bir görsel örneğini sağlar.
