Operando MS offers several advantages over traditional analytical methods:
Real-time analysis: Provides immediate feedback on the catalytic process, enabling the observation of fast reactions and transient species. High sensitivity: Capable of detecting low concentrations of intermediates and products, which are often missed by other techniques. Non-invasive: Allows for the study of catalysts under actual operating conditions without disturbing the reaction environment. Detailed mechanistic insights: Helps in identifying active sites and understanding the steps involved in the catalytic cycle.
