scanning electron microscopy (sem)

How Can SEM Be Complemented by Other Techniques?


To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of catalyst materials, SEM is often used in conjunction with other characterization techniques. For example:
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides higher resolution images and can reveal internal structures of catalysts.
X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Offers information about the crystalline structure and phase composition of catalysts.
Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) Analysis: Measures surface area and porosity, which are critical for catalytic performance.
Combining these techniques with SEM allows researchers to build a more complete picture of catalyst properties and behavior.
