An operando infrared spectroscopy setup typically includes an infrared spectrometer, a reaction cell, and a gas delivery system. The reaction cell is designed to withstand the temperature and pressure conditions required for the catalytic reaction while allowing infrared radiation to pass through. The gas delivery system ensures a continuous supply of reactants and the removal of products. In some setups, additional equipment such as mass spectrometers or gas chromatographs may be integrated to provide complementary data.
