TAP can provide a multitude of information that is crucial for understanding catalytic processes: - Reaction Mechanisms: By analyzing the time distribution of products and intermediates, researchers can propose detailed reaction mechanisms. - Kinetic Parameters: TAP can be used to determine rate constants, activation energies, and other kinetic parameters. - Catalyst Properties: The technique can reveal information about the active sites, adsorption properties, and diffusion characteristics of the catalyst. - Reaction Intermediates: TAP can identify short-lived intermediates that are often undetectable by other methods.
