What Are the Challenges in Using High Resolution Microscopy?
Despite its advantages, high resolution microscopy in catalysis faces several challenges:
Sample preparation: Preparing high-quality samples that are representative of the actual working catalyst can be difficult. Beam damage: High-energy electron beams used in TEM can damage sensitive materials, altering their properties. Environmental conditions: Many catalytic reactions occur under high pressure and temperature, conditions that are challenging to replicate in microscopy experiments.
