What are the Challenges of In Situ Characterization?
Despite the advantages, in situ characterization comes with its own set of challenges: 1. Complexity: Setting up in situ experiments can be complicated and requires specialized equipment. 2. Data Interpretation: Analyzing the data obtained from in situ techniques can be challenging due to the dynamic nature of the reactions. 3. Environmental Control: Maintaining the reaction conditions (temperature, pressure, reactant flow) while performing in situ analysis can be difficult. 4. Temporal Resolution: Capturing rapid changes in catalysts during reactions requires high temporal resolution, which can be technically demanding.
