Neutron Scattering Studies of Heterogeneous Catalysis

Xinbin Yu et al.

Summary: Understanding the structure-catalysis relationship in heterogeneous catalysis relies on spectroscopic and scattering tools, with neutron scattering providing unique information due to its interaction with nuclei. Neutron techniques, including vibrational spectroscopy, diffraction, and quasielastic scattering, have been extensively used to study surface adsorbates, reaction mechanisms, and catalyst structures. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in neutron scattering investigations of heterogeneous catalysis and discusses the challenges and future opportunities in this field.

Combinatorial neutron imaging methods for hydrogenation catalysts

Marin Nikolic et al.

Summary: Heterogeneous catalysts have complex structures and their design is constrained by numerous parameters. The combinatorial method CONI based on hydrogen adsorption/absorption and hydrogen-deuterium exchange enables the rapid measurement of the number of adsorbed/absorbed hydrogen atoms in various catalysts.
