The chemical composition and structure of the catalyst surface is critical in determining the reactivity and selectivity of a catalyst. The techniques of surface analysis are able to provide the surface information. Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA) and related techniques are the most commonly used methods to characterise theā¦
Diversity and inclusion, with respect to gender, nationality, culture, sexuality, etcā¦ is unfortunately still missing in most places, and universities are definitely not a front runner. Research has shown that increased diversity in the working place, adding diversity in methods, approaches, etcā¦ leads to increased performance and output overall. Whereasā¦
The investigation of reaction mechanisms in catalysis is especially challenging due to the combination of fast transient changes and the complexity of the reactions that occur under normal operating conditions. In such circumstances, it is difficult to design and operate equipment that has a time resolution of a few secondsā¦
