HERFD has a wide range of applications in catalysis, including:
Characterization of active sites: Identifying and understanding the electronic structure of catalytic active sites. Oxidation state analysis: Determining the oxidation states of metal centers in catalysts. In-situ studies: Monitoring changes in the catalyst during real-time catalytic reactions. Structural elucidation: Gaining insights into the local atomic and electronic structures of catalysts.
These applications are critical for developing more efficient and selective catalysts for a wide array of chemical processes, including energy production, environmental remediation, and industrial synthesis.
