What are Common Applications of IR Spectroscopy in Catalysis?
IR spectroscopy is employed in various applications within catalysis, including:
Surface characterization: Identifying surface species and their interactions with catalysts. Reaction mechanisms: Elucidating the steps involved in catalytic reactions by monitoring intermediates and product formation. In-situ studies: Observing catalytic processes under real reaction conditions to gain insights into dynamic changes. Catalyst deactivation: Understanding the causes of catalyst deactivation by identifying surface poisons and changes in active sites.
