Several analytical techniques can be employed to improve detection sensitivity:
1. Spectroscopy: Techniques like UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy can detect changes in the electronic and molecular structure of catalysts and substrates. 2. Chromatography: Methods such as Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) can separate and quantify components in a mixture with high sensitivity. 3. Electrochemical Methods: Techniques like cyclic voltammetry and amperometry are used to detect catalytic activity by measuring current changes. 4. Mass Spectrometry: This technique can identify and quantify very small amounts of substances by their mass-to-charge ratio.
