Engineers Image Nanostructure Of A Solid Acid Catalyst And Boost Its Catalytic Activity (redOrbit)
A new view of an old problemThe Lehigh-Rice team attributes much of its success to the use, for the first time on tungstated zirconia catalysts, of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and its integration with three optical spectroscopic techniques—Raman, infrared and ultraviolet-visible. Only by combining the microscopy and spectroscopy studies, says Wachs, was …
