How is In Situ Characterization Enhancing Catalysis Research?
In situ characterization techniques allow scientists to observe catalysts in real-time under actual reaction conditions. Techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provide valuable information about the structure and behavior of catalysts. This real-time insight is crucial for understanding how catalysts work and how they can be improved.
