What is Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED)?
Selected Area Electron Diffraction (SAED) is a powerful technique used in catalysis research to analyze the crystallographic structure of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing an electron beam onto a specific, small area of a sample and analyzing the resulting diffraction pattern. This technique is performed using a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), allowing scientists to study the atomic arrangement and phase identification of catalysts.
