What are the Advantages of Using Neutron Reflectometry in Catalysis?
NR offers several unique advantages for catalysis research:
Non-destructive Analysis: NR is a non-destructive technique, allowing for in situ and real-time monitoring of catalytic processes without altering the sample. High Sensitivity to Light Elements: Neutrons are highly sensitive to light elements such as hydrogen, which are often critical components in catalytic reactions. Penetration Depth: Neutrons can penetrate deep into materials, providing information about buried interfaces and multi-layered structures.
