What Types of IR Spectrophotometers are Used in Catalysis?
Several types of IR spectrophotometers are employed in catalytic studies, including:
- Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers: These are preferred due to their high resolution and sensitivity. - Dispersive IR spectrophotometers: Common for basic applications but less favored in advanced catalysis research. - In-situ IR spectrophotometers: Allow real-time monitoring of catalytic reactions under actual operating conditions.
