What Information Can Be Derived from Surface Data?
Surface data provides a wealth of information that can be used to understand and improve catalytic processes. Some of the key insights include:
Surface Area - The total area available for catalytic reactions, which directly impacts the catalyst's activity. Surface Energy - Influences the adsorption and desorption of reactants and products. Active Sites - Identification and quantification of active sites where the reaction occurs. Surface Composition - Determines the chemical elements present on the surface and their oxidation states. Surface Morphology - The physical structure of the surface, including roughness, porosity, and particle size.
