What are the Challenges in Complex Characterization?
Complex characterization faces several challenges, including:
1. Heterogeneity: Catalysts often have heterogeneous structures, making it difficult to obtain representative data. 2. Dynamic Nature: Catalysts can undergo structural and chemical changes during reactions, necessitating advanced techniques like in-situ or operando characterization. 3. Sensitivity: Some characterization methods require high sensitivity to detect small changes or low concentrations of active species. 4. Data Interpretation: The vast amount of data generated requires sophisticated data analysis and interpretation techniques to extract meaningful information.
