What Role Do In Situ and Operando Techniques Play?
In situ and operando techniques are vital in understanding catalytic processes as they occur under actual reaction conditions. These methods provide real-time data on: - Catalyst behavior: Understanding changes in the catalyst structure during the reaction. - Reaction intermediates: Identifying transient species that form and decompose during the reaction. - Reaction mechanisms: Gaining insights into the step-by-step progression of the catalytic process.
