Several techniques are employed in time-resolved studies, each with its unique advantages and applications:
- Time-Resolved Spectroscopy: Techniques like UV-Vis, IR, and Raman spectroscopy are used to monitor changes in the electronic and vibrational states of molecules during a reaction. - Time-Resolved X-ray Diffraction (TR-XRD): This technique captures the structural changes in crystalline materials, providing insights into phase transitions and structural rearrangements. - Time-Resolved Electron Microscopy: High-resolution imaging techniques, such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), can observe the morphological changes in nanoparticles and other catalytic materials.
