Microscopes are essential for the design and optimization of catalysts. They enable researchers to:
- Visualize nanostructures: High-resolution images help in understanding the arrangement and distribution of catalytic sites. - Analyze defects: Identifying and characterizing defects at the atomic level can lead to improved catalyst performance. - Study surface reactions: Observing how reactants interact with catalyst surfaces at the molecular level provides valuable information for enhancing catalytic efficiency.
