How Can Advanced Techniques Aid in Catalysis Research?
The study of catalysis has been greatly enhanced by advancements in analytical techniques. Spectroscopy methods such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Infrared (IR), and Raman spectroscopy allow for detailed analysis of catalytic processes. Microscopy techniques like Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provide insights into the structural properties of catalysts. Furthermore, computational methods including Density Functional Theory (DFT) help in predicting and understanding catalytic behavior at the atomic level.
