Several techniques are used to measure the size distribution of catalyst particles:
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS): Measures the size distribution of small particles in suspension by analyzing the scattering of light. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Provides high-resolution images of the catalyst surface, allowing for direct measurement of particle sizes. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Offers detailed images of particle size and morphology at the nanoscale. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Can be used to estimate particle size based on the broadening of diffraction peaks. Laser Diffraction: Measures particle size distribution by analyzing the pattern of light diffraction from a sample.
