Higher energy resolution compared to traditional XAS techniques. Ability to distinguish between closely related chemical species. Enhanced sensitivity to subtle changes in electronic structure.
However, there are also some limitations:
The need for sophisticated instrumentation, such as crystal analyzers and synchrotron radiation sources. Complex data analysis and interpretation. Limited accessibility, as high-quality HERFD measurements often require access to specialized facilities.
Despite these challenges, the benefits of HERFD in providing detailed and accurate information about catalytic systems make it a valuable tool in catalysis research.
