What Are Some Recent Advances in STM for Catalysis?
Recent advances in STM technology have significantly enhanced its application in catalysis:
Improved Resolution: Advances in tip technology and data processing have pushed the resolution limits, allowing for even more detailed studies of catalytic surfaces. Environmental STM (ESTM): Developments in environmental control systems now allow STM studies under more realistic conditions, such as higher pressures and temperatures. Time-Resolved STM: Enhanced electronics and faster scanning capabilities enable the capture of rapid surface changes, providing deeper insights into catalytic mechanisms.
