Operando spectroscopy is a critical tool in the field of catalysis. It takes its name from the Latin word for “working” as it covers spectroscopic analyses of catalytic reactions under working conditions. This differs from standard spectroscopic methods by combining spectroscopy of the catalyst under working conditions with on-line reaction monitoring. By combining these methods operando spectroscopy can offer new insights into different catalytic mechanisms representative of dynamic reaction pathways under real-world conditions. Read more
