High-resolution imaging is crucial in catalysis research because:
- Atomic-Level Precision: It allows for the examination of catalysts at the atomic level, revealing details about the arrangement of atoms and active sites. - Defect Analysis: High resolution helps in identifying imperfections and defects that can influence catalyst performance. - Reaction Mechanisms: Understanding the exact pathways of catalytic reactions requires observing changes at the molecular level, which high-resolution microscopes can provide.
