Operando and in situ studies of catalytically active sites
Operando and in situ studies of catalytically active sites
What exactly happens at the atomic level on a catalyst's surface under real operating conditions?
To design superior catalysts, we must understand their dynamic structural and chemical evolution during the actual catalytic process. We rely heavily on state-of-the-art operando and in situ techniques available in our facilities or in synchrotron facilities worldwide.
