What Are Some Key Applications of STXM in Catalysis?
Some of the significant applications include:
- Characterizing Active Sites: STXM can identify and characterize the active sites on catalyst surfaces, providing valuable information for catalyst design. - Studying Reaction Mechanisms: By observing catalysts in action, STXM helps elucidate the mechanisms of catalytic reactions. - Monitoring Catalyst Deactivation: The technique can track changes in catalysts over time, helping to understand and prevent deactivation processes. - Analyzing Catalyst Supports: STXM provides insights into the role of catalyst supports and their interactions with active materials.
