What are the limitations of EELS in Catalysis research?
Despite its many advantages, EELS has some limitations:
Sample preparation: EELS requires thin samples, which can be challenging to prepare, especially for some catalytic materials. Beam damage: The high-energy electron beam used in EELS can cause damage to sensitive materials, potentially altering the sample and affecting the accuracy of the analysis. Data interpretation: The interpretation of EELS data can be complex and requires a high level of expertise.
