Lasers Are Used to Screen Solid-State Catalysts

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Scientists looking for solid-state catalysts that are important to the chemical and oil industries have relied on trial-and-error processes because catalytic activity is difficult to screen. Unlike superconductivity or magnetoresistivity, properties that can be tested by contact probes, catalytic activity eludes most detection methods. Some researchers have suggested using IR thermography and microprobe sampling mass spectroscopy, but the first method does not detect reaction products and the second is difficult to implement.
