What are the Challenges in Using TOF MS for Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, using TOF MS in catalysis research presents some challenges. These include:
Sample Preparation: Ensuring that the sample is representative of the catalytic system and free from contaminants. Ionization Efficiency: Achieving efficient ionization of all species present in the sample, especially for heterogeneous catalysts. Data Interpretation: Analyzing complex spectra and identifying relevant species among a plethora of possible ions.
