What Are the Recent Advances in Detection Methods for Heterogeneous Catalysis?
Recent advances in detection methods for heterogeneous catalysis include the development of operando techniques, which combine in situ characterization with simultaneous performance evaluation.
Operando Techniques: These methods provide a direct correlation between the structural and electronic properties of the catalyst and its activity, selectivity, and stability. Examples: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are commonly used operando techniques that offer insights into the structural changes of catalysts during reactions.
