How is Fluorescence Imaging Applied in Catalysis Research?
Fluorescence imaging is applied in various ways in catalysis research:
Mapping Active Sites: By tagging active sites with fluorescent markers, researchers can visualize the distribution of active sites within a catalyst. Studying Reaction Mechanisms: Fluorescent probes can be used to monitor the formation and consumption of reaction intermediates. Assessing Catalyst Stability: Time-lapse imaging can reveal deactivation pathways and the stability of catalysts under different conditions. Visualizing Mass Transport: Fluorescence imaging can track the diffusion of reactants and products within porous catalysts.
