What is Temperature-Programmed Reduction (TPR) and Temperature-Programmed Oxidation (TPO)?
TPR and TPO are techniques used to study the redox properties of catalysts. TPR measures the amount of reducing gas consumed as a function of temperature, providing insights into the reducibility of the catalyst. TPO, on the other hand, measures the amount of oxidizing gas consumed, which helps in understanding the oxidation behavior of the catalyst. These techniques are crucial for designing catalysts with optimal redox properties.
