What are the Advantages of In Situ and Operando Diffraction Studies?
In situ and operando diffraction studies allow researchers to observe changes in the catalyst’s structure in real-time under actual reaction conditions. This is essential for understanding the dynamics of the catalytic processes. For example, in situ XRD can monitor phase changes, while operando XRD can correlate structural changes directly with catalytic activity, providing a comprehensive understanding of the catalyst’s behavior.
