The use of in situ rheometry in catalysis is essential for several reasons:
Real-time Monitoring: It allows for the observation of changes in the viscoelastic properties of catalytic materials as the reaction proceeds. Understanding Mechanisms: By studying these changes, researchers can gain insights into the reaction mechanisms and identify possible rate-limiting steps. Optimization: The data obtained can be used to optimize the catalytic process, such as improving the stability and efficiency of the catalyst.
