How are Synchrotron Facilities Utilized in Catalysis Research?
In the field of catalysis, synchrotron facilities are crucial for understanding the fundamental mechanisms that drive catalytic processes. The high-intensity X-rays produced by synchrotrons allow researchers to perform various advanced techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These techniques enable the detailed examination of catalysts under operating conditions, providing insights into their structure, chemical environment, and electronic properties.
