How Do X-Ray Detectors Aid in Catalyst Characterization?
X-ray detectors help in the characterization of catalysts by providing insights into their structural and electronic properties. For instance:
- XRD: Determines the crystalline structure of catalysts, helping to identify phases and crystallite sizes. - XAS: Provides information on the oxidation states and local environment around specific elements in the catalyst. - XPS: Offers insights into the surface composition and chemical states of the elements present.
