What Information Can Be Obtained from Diffraction Techniques?
Diffraction techniques can provide a wealth of information about catalytic materials, including:
Crystal structure: Determines the arrangement of atoms within the catalyst. Phase composition: Identifies different phases present in the catalyst. Crystallite size: Estimates the size of coherent crystalline regions. Strain: Measures the deformation in the crystal lattice. Surface area: Inferred from the size and shape of particles.
