DSC can provide a range of information relevant to catalysis, including: - Thermal Stability: Evaluates the thermal stability of catalysts and support materials to determine their suitability for high-temperature catalytic processes. - Phase Transitions: Identifies phase transitions such as melting, crystallization, and polymorphic transformations that can affect catalytic performance. - Reaction Energetics: Measures the heat flow associated with exothermic and endothermic reactions to understand the energetics of catalytic processes. - Glass Transition: Determines the glass transition temperature of amorphous catalytic materials, which can influence their mechanical and thermal properties. - Adsorption/Desorption: Studies the adsorption and desorption of reactants or products on catalyst surfaces.
