TPR is widely used in the characterization of various catalytic materials, including:
Metal Oxides: Understanding the reduction behavior of metal oxides in catalysts used for reactions like CO oxidation or water-gas shift reaction. Supported Metal Catalysts: Investigating the reduction of supported metal catalysts (e.g., Pt, Pd, Ni) to determine their state and distribution. Zeolites: Studying the reduction of metal ions in zeolite frameworks to optimize their catalytic properties.
