Data collection in catalytic research should adhere to certain standards to ensure quality and comparability:
1. Characterization Techniques: Standard techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BET surface area analysis should be used to characterize catalysts. 2. Reaction Monitoring: Methods for monitoring catalytic reactions, such as gas chromatography (GC) or mass spectrometry (MS), should be consistent. 3. Data Reporting: Results should be reported in a standardized format, including units and conditions, to facilitate comparison between studies.
