How do Ambient Ionization Techniques Benefit Catalysis?
Ambient ionization techniques offer several benefits to the study of catalysis:
Non-invasive Analysis: These techniques allow for the examination of catalyst surfaces without altering their state, preserving the integrity of the sample. Real-Time Monitoring: Researchers can monitor reaction kinetics and mechanisms as they occur, providing insights into transient species and intermediates that are often elusive. Versatility: They are applicable to a wide range of catalytic systems, from heterogeneous to homogeneous catalysis.
