In Situ Imaging of Heterogeneous Catalysts from the Micrometer to the Nanometer Scale

The function and efficiency of a catalyst is influenced by its design on several length scales. Therefore, the characterization of catalysts by complementary techniques on all length scales is required to understand the underlying processes and to improve the catalyst function. In this work, the micrometer and nanometer scale of heterogeneous catalysts are probed by spectroscopic and microscopic methods and in situ cells suitable for studying these length scales are presented.
