HRXRD can provide a wealth of information about catalytic materials, including:
Phase Identification: Determining the different crystalline phases present in the sample. Lattice Parameters: Measuring the dimensions of the unit cell, which can reveal strain and stress in the material. Crystallite Size: Estimating the size of coherent diffracting domains, which affects the surface area and catalytic activity. Defect Analysis: Identifying and quantifying defects such as dislocations and vacancies.
