Using Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) for CO2 Conversion
Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) is an analytical method that is a combination of mass spectrometry and electrochemical half-cell experimentation. It is used in continuous faradaic reactions to identify products or intermediates and for characterizing the sub-monolayer levels of adsorbates on electrode surfaces through adsorption. 1. DEMS allows for in-situ mass resolved determination of reaction intermediates,…
Comparing Mass Spectrometry with FT-IR for TGA Experiments: Spotlight on HPR-20 EGA
