How Does Raman Spectroscopy Contribute to Catalysis Research?
Raman Spectroscopy involves the scattering of monochromatic light, usually from a laser, by molecules on the catalyst surface. The scattered light provides information about the vibrational modes of the molecules, which can be used to deduce structural and electronic properties. Raman spectroscopy is particularly useful for studying carbon-based catalysts and reaction intermediates in situ.
