What are the Challenges in In Situ Crystallography?
Despite its advantages, in situ crystallography faces several challenges:
1. Complexity of Experimental Setup: Designing reactors and sample environments that can simulate real catalytic conditions while being compatible with diffraction techniques is challenging. 2. Data Interpretation: The data obtained from in situ experiments can be complex and require sophisticated computational methods for analysis and interpretation. 3. Temporal Resolution: Capturing fast catalytic processes requires high temporal resolution, which can be difficult to achieve with current instrumentation.
