Catalyst deactivation is mainly caused by catalyst sintering, and causes billions of dollars of extra expenditure on catalyst regeneration. Gaining insights into the sintering kinetics and mechanisms is essential in the design of more sintering-resistant catalysts.
The heat dissipated from an exothermic catalytic reaction plays key role in catalytic ignition and light-off in catalytic converters. One example is automobile emission cleaning.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) uses a finely focused beam of electrons in order to produce a high resolution image of a sample.
