Several cutting-edge technologies are being employed to develop improved detectors in catalysis:
Mass Spectrometry: Enables precise identification and quantification of reaction intermediates and products. Infrared Spectroscopy: Useful for monitoring functional groups and reaction progress in real-time. X-ray Diffraction: Provides insights into the structural changes of catalysts during reactions. Gas Chromatography: Effective for separating and analyzing volatile compounds in complex mixtures. Surface Plasmon Resonance: Allows for the real-time monitoring of adsorption and desorption processes on catalyst surfaces.
