What role do advanced techniques like synchrotron radiation play in Catalysis research?
Advanced techniques like synchrotron radiation provide high-intensity X-rays that are invaluable for studying catalysts at the atomic level. Techniques such as X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) using synchrotron radiation offer unparalleled insights into the electronic and structural properties of catalysts under real-world conditions.
