What Are the Challenges in Implementing Operando Spectroscopy?
Despite its advantages, operando spectroscopy comes with several challenges:
- Complexity of Setup: Combining catalytic reactors with spectroscopic equipment requires specialized setups that can be complex and expensive. - Data Interpretation: The vast amount of data generated can be difficult to interpret, requiring advanced data analysis techniques and expertise. - Spatial Resolution: Achieving high spatial resolution to observe changes at the atomic or molecular level can be challenging, particularly for heterogeneous catalysts. - Temporal Resolution: Capturing fast catalytic processes requires techniques with high temporal resolution, which can be technically demanding.
