Documenting experimental procedures involves noting down each step meticulously. This includes:
- Materials: List all chemicals, reagents, and equipment used. - Methods: Describe the synthesis of catalysts, including purification and characterization techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. - Conditions: Record the reaction parameters such as temperature, time, and pressure. - Safety Measures: Include any safety precautions and waste disposal methods.
