TPD can provide several key pieces of information about a catalyst, including:
Adsorption Capacity: The amount of gas that can be adsorbed onto the catalyst surface. Binding Energy: The strength of the interaction between the adsorbate and the catalyst surface. Surface Coverage: The distribution and density of active sites on the catalyst surface. Desorption Kinetics: The rate at which adsorbed molecules desorb, which can be related to catalytic activity.
