How Do Nuclear Techniques Complement Other Analytical Methods in Catalysis?
Nuclear techniques are often used in conjunction with other analytical methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of catalytic systems. For example, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) can be combined with neutron scattering to obtain detailed structural information, while Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy can complement NMR by providing insights into the functional groups and reaction intermediates. By integrating multiple techniques, researchers can gain a more complete picture of the catalytic processes and design more effective catalysts.
