SAXS has been widely used in various applications within catalysis research, including:
Nanoparticle catalysts: SAXS can be used to study the size, shape, and distribution of metallic nanoparticles used as catalysts. Porous materials: SAXS can provide information on the pore size distribution and porosity of materials such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). In situ studies: SAXS enables the monitoring of structural changes in catalysts during reaction conditions, providing insights into deactivation mechanisms and catalyst regeneration. Composite materials: SAXS can be used to study the dispersion and aggregation of nanoparticles in composite catalytic materials.
