Pulsed TDS is particularly valuable in catalysis research for several reasons:
1. Characterizing Active Sites: It helps identify the active sites on a catalyst where reactions occur. 2. Understanding Reaction Pathways: By studying how molecules interact with the catalyst surface, researchers can elucidate the reaction pathways and intermediates involved. 3. Optimizing Catalysts: The technique aids in optimizing the composition and structure of catalysts to improve their efficiency and selectivity. 4. Studying Deactivation Mechanisms: It can also be used to investigate the mechanisms of catalyst deactivation, helping to develop more durable materials.
