What Are Some Common Techniques to Measure Intrinsic Properties?
Several analytical techniques are used to measure intrinsic properties:
X-ray Diffraction (XRD): This technique helps in identifying the crystal structure and phase composition of the catalyst. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) Method: This is used to measure the surface area of the catalyst. Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD): TPD can provide information about the types and strengths of the active sites. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS): XPS helps in understanding the electronic structure and chemical states of the elements present in the catalyst.
