What Techniques are Used to Study Catalyst Dynamics?
Various experimental and computational techniques are employed to study catalyst dynamics:
In situ spectroscopy: Techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and infrared spectroscopy (IR) allow for real-time monitoring of catalyst surfaces during reactions. Kinetic studies: These involve measuring reaction rates under different conditions to understand the dynamics of the catalytic process. Computational modeling: Methods like density functional theory (DFT) provide insights into the electronic structure and reaction pathways of catalysts.
