Identifying active sites typically involves a combination of experimental techniques and computational methods:
1. Experimental Techniques: Methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) can provide insights into the structure and composition of the catalyst. 2. Computational Methods: Techniques like Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations can predict the location and behavior of active sites.
