What Techniques are Used to Study Catalytic Reactions?
Several techniques are employed to study catalytic reactions:
Spectroscopy (e.g., IR, NMR, UV-Vis) to monitor reactants and products. Chromatography (e.g., GC, HPLC) to separate and quantify chemical species. Microscopy (e.g., TEM, SEM) to observe catalyst morphology. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine crystalline structures. Reaction Kinetics to study the rate of reaction and mechanism.
