SEM can provide a wealth of information about catalysts, including:
Surface morphology: Detailed images of the catalyst surface, revealing features such as porosity, texture, and particle shape. Particle size distribution: Measurements of catalyst particle sizes, which can influence catalytic performance. Elemental composition: Identification and mapping of elements present in the catalyst using EDX. Structural defects: Detection of cracks, voids, and other defects that may affect catalyst stability.
