What Are the Challenges in Structural Characterization?
Despite the advances in characterization techniques, several challenges remain:
Complexity: Catalysts often have complex structures with multiple phases and varying morphologies. Resolution: Achieving atomic-level resolution can be difficult, especially for non-crystalline materials. In Situ Analysis: Characterizing catalysts under reaction conditions (in situ) is challenging but necessary for understanding real-world behavior. Data Interpretation: The vast amount of data generated requires sophisticated analysis and modeling techniques.
