The main advantage of in situ FTIR is its ability to provide detailed information about the molecular interactions and transformations on the catalyst surface. This includes the identification of reaction intermediates, the detection of surface-bound species, and the observation of changes in the catalyst structure. Some of the key benefits include:
- Real-time monitoring: Enables the observation of dynamic processes as they happen. - Molecular-level insight: Provides information about specific functional groups and their interactions. - Non-destructive analysis: Allows continuous monitoring without altering the sample.
