TPR profiles provide several important pieces of information:
Reduction Temperatures: The temperatures at which reduction peaks occur indicate the ease of reducibility of different metal oxides in the sample. Lower reduction temperatures suggest more easily reducible species. Peak Areas: The area under each reduction peak is proportional to the amount of reducible species present. This helps in quantifying the reducible metal oxides. Reduction Steps: Multiple peaks in the TPR profile indicate the presence of different reducible species or multiple reduction steps for a single species.
