Several experimental methods are employed in catalysis research:
1. Batch Reactors: These are used for studying reaction kinetics and mechanisms under controlled conditions. 2. Flow Reactors: Ideal for continuous processes, they help in studying catalyst stability over time. 3. Spectroscopic Techniques: Methods like IR, NMR, and XPS provide insights into the catalyst's surface and structure. 4. Microscopy: Techniques such as TEM and SEM allow for the visualization of catalyst morphology.
