Crystallography provides detailed information about the atomic and molecular structure of catalysts. This information is pivotal for several reasons:
Identification of Active Sites: It helps in pinpointing the active sites where the catalytic reactions occur. Design of Catalysts: With knowledge of the atomic structure, scientists can design catalysts with specific properties to improve performance. Understanding Reaction Mechanisms: Crystallographic data can elucidate how chemical reactions proceed on the catalyst's surface. Stability and Durability: It provides insights into the structural stability of catalysts, which is crucial for long-term use.
