Recent advances in GC technology have enhanced its application in catalysis. Some noteworthy developments include:
Multidimensional GC (GCxGC): This technique uses two columns with different stationary phases to achieve higher separation efficiency. Fast GC: Improved column technology and faster temperature programming allow for quicker analysis times. GC-MS: Coupling GC with mass spectrometry provides detailed structural information about the separated compounds, aiding in their identification.
