How does Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) contribute to Catalyst Characterization?
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provides detailed images of the catalyst surface morphology. It is used to study the surface structure, particle size, and distribution of active components in the catalyst. SEM, often combined with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), provides elemental composition information, which is crucial for understanding the catalyst's performance.
