Several strategies can be employed to address the limitations of FTIR in catalysis:
Advanced data processing: Utilizing advanced data processing techniques such as multivariate analysis can help deconvolute complex spectra. In situ and operando techniques: Developing and utilizing in situ and operando FTIR techniques can provide more relevant information under actual reaction conditions. Complementary techniques: Combining FTIR with other analytical techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), or mass spectrometry (MS) can provide a more comprehensive understanding of catalytic processes.
