Synchrotron radiation offers several advantages for catalytic studies:
High Intensity: The intense beams allow for the investigation of samples with high spatial resolution. Broad Spectrum: The wide range of wavelengths enables different types of spectroscopy and imaging techniques. Time-Resolved Studies: Fast data acquisition allows for real-time monitoring of catalytic processes. Elemental Sensitivity: Techniques like X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) can provide information on the oxidation state and local environment of specific elements.
