What are the benefits of using European XFEL in Catalysis research?
The European XFEL offers several advantages for catalysis research:
High Temporal Resolution: The facility's ultra-short pulses allow for the observation of transient intermediate states in catalytic reactions, which are often too fast to be captured by other techniques. High Spatial Resolution: It provides atomic-level detail on the structure of catalysts, enabling the precise determination of active sites and reaction pathways. Elemental Specificity: Techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy can be used to study specific elements within a catalyst, giving detailed information on their oxidation states and local environments.
