Several types of data are collected in catalysis research, including:
Kinetic data - Information on reaction rates and how they change under different conditions. Structural data - Details about the physical and chemical structure of the catalyst. Surface area measurements - Data on the surface area available for catalytic activity. Spectroscopic data - Insights gained from techniques like IR, NMR, and X-ray spectroscopy. Thermodynamic data - Information on the energetics of the catalytic process.
