What is Surface Enhanced Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy (SEIRAS)?
Surface Enhanced Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy (SEIRAS) is an analytical technique that enhances the sensitivity of infrared (IR) spectroscopy by utilizing the interaction between IR light and a metallic surface. This method significantly improves the detection of molecular vibrations, especially for molecules adsorbed on catalyst surfaces. SEIRAS is particularly useful in studying the molecular dynamics and mechanisms involved in catalytic processes.
