Quantify the nanoscale properties that drive catalytic performance using advanced electron microscopy and image analysis
In this webinar, you will learn how electron microscopes and image analysis software can empower you to comprehensively characterize your catalysts and supports, gaining deeper insights into their properties and performance over time.
Electron microscopy enables visual insights on the nanostructures in the materials used for catalysis. In combination with imaging data interpretation software, you can numerically analyze material porosity, particle distribution, composition, and mutual distance, and you can analyze the distribution of different materials and phases and how they interact.
Explore and characterize your catalysis material’s behavior and optimize your processes to support robust chemical activity.
Register for this webinar to learn how to:
- Numerically characterize support porosity, tortuosity, and flow dynamics
- Evaluate catalyst particles distribution and their mutual distance and accessibility to reactant
- Characterize chemistry and structure of your catalysts and supports
