Why is Fluorescence Imaging Important in Catalysis?
Fluorescence imaging is crucial in catalysis for several reasons:
High Sensitivity: It allows for the detection of low concentrations of reactants, intermediates, and products. Spatial Resolution: This technique can provide spatial information about the distribution of catalytic sites and the diffusion of species within the catalyst. Temporal Resolution: It enables real-time monitoring of catalytic reactions, helping to understand the dynamics of the process. Non-Invasive: Fluorescence imaging is generally non-destructive, preserving the sample for further analysis.
