Popis: The design and function of a custom-made Soller slit for a laboratory 2D area detector is presented through a series of demonstration imagesand an in situ experiment following the formation of nickel particles in supercritical methanol. The in situ experiment is performed in acapillary sample environment, modified for a laboratory scale Rigaku Smartlab diffractometer, and with a temperature range of 300–1050 K.The formation of nickel particles was followed successfully using laboratory in situ X-ray powder diffraction with a time resolution in the orderof 27 s. Observations from the area detector images showed the appearance of three distinct phases during the reaction: Ni3(NO3)2(OH)4,NiO, and Ni. The images were linearly integrated and analyzed using Rietveld refinement. A reaction mechanism is proposed based on anevaluation of the weight fractions and scattering factors as a function of reaction time.
