How Do In Situ Studies Contribute to Catalyst Design?
In situ studies play a pivotal role in the design and optimization of catalysts. By understanding the structure-activity relationship, researchers can tailor catalysts to achieve desired properties. For example, in situ XAS can reveal oxidation states and coordination environments, helping to identify the active sites responsible for catalysis. This information can be used to modify the catalyst's structure or composition to enhance its activity and stability.
