How Does Transmission IR Spectroscopy Compare to Other Techniques?
Compared to other techniques like Raman spectroscopy or X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission IR spectroscopy is particularly sensitive to polar bonds and functional groups. While Raman spectroscopy is more suited for non-polar bonds and XPS provides elemental and chemical state information, IR spectroscopy excels in identifying functional groups and studying their interactions with the catalyst.
