Characterization of catalysts involves several techniques to determine their properties:
Surface Area Analysis using techniques like BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) to measure surface area and porosity. Spectroscopic Methods such as IR (Infrared Spectroscopy) and UV-Vis (Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy) to analyze chemical bonds and electronic structures. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) to study thermal stability and composition. Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD) to investigate adsorption and desorption properties.
