Catalysis by way of spectroscopy (Worldwide 4/2001-359) The book describes the most important modern analytical techniques used to investigate catalytic surfaces. These techniques include electron-, ion- and vibrational spectroscopy, temperature-programmed techniques, diffraction, and microscopy. Each chapter provides current applications to illustrate the type of information that the technique provides, as well as evaluating its capabilities and limitations. A concise appendix describes the most relevant aspects of the theory of surfaces and of chemisorption. The second edition includes information on significant new developments and the scanning of probe microscopies. Imaging and vibrational techniques have been revised, and case studies expanded, with an example on polymerization catalysts. All the other chapters have been updated with recent examples and relevant new literature. |
