Identifying the lag effect requires careful monitoring of the reaction over time. Some techniques include:
- Time-Resolved Spectroscopy: This technique can monitor the formation of active catalytic species in real-time. - Reaction Profiling: Plotting the reaction rate versus time can reveal delays in catalytic activity. - In-situ Characterization: Tools such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) can help in observing changes in the catalyst structure during the reaction.
