In catalysis, understanding the surface interactions and transformations of catalysts is crucial. ATR-IR spectroscopy provides several advantages:
Non-destructive Analysis: ATR allows for the examination of samples without altering their physical or chemical state. Surface Sensitivity: The technique is highly sensitive to surface phenomena, which is essential for studying heterogeneous catalysts. In Situ Monitoring: ATR can be used to monitor catalytic reactions in real-time, providing insights into reaction mechanisms and kinetics. Wide Range of Materials: ATR is compatible with a variety of samples, including solids, liquids, and gels, making it versatile for different catalytic systems.
