How is Crystallography Applied in Catalytic Research?
Several techniques are used in crystallography to study catalytic materials:
X-ray Diffraction (XRD): This technique is used to determine the crystal structure of materials by measuring the diffraction pattern of X-rays passing through the sample. Neutron Diffraction: Similar to XRD, but uses neutrons instead of X-rays. It is particularly useful for locating light atoms such as hydrogen. Electron Diffraction: Employed mainly for studying nanoscale materials and surfaces.
