STXM is versatile and can be applied to various types of catalysts, including:
- Heterogeneous Catalysts: These include solid catalysts used in industrial processes, such as metal oxides and supported metal nanoparticles. - Homogeneous Catalysts: These are soluble catalysts used in solution-phase reactions. - Biocatalysts: Enzymes and other biological catalysts can also be studied using STXM to understand their structure-function relationships.
