What Are the Recent Advances in Catalyst Characterization?
Recent advances in catalyst characterization have focused on improving the resolution and sensitivity of existing techniques and developing new methods. Some notable advances include: - The development of advanced electron microscopy techniques, such as aberration-corrected TEM, which provide atomic-level resolution. - In situ characterization techniques that allow the observation of catalysts under reaction conditions, providing real-time insights into their behavior. - The use of synchrotron radiation for XRD and XPS, which offers higher resolution and sensitivity. - The integration of computational methods with experimental techniques to predict and validate catalyst structures and properties.
