Catalysts

From oil and gas to automotive catalysts, understanding the moisture and chemical reactivity of materials is essential to their successful development for industrial applications. From gas storage to competitive adsorption, our instruments provide insights key to optimizing materials’ key functions as catalysts.

Key Challenges We Solve

Understanding the reactivity and material-gas interactions is vital to optimizing them for use as catalysts.

Catalyst Activity Optimization

Measure adsorption capacity and diffusion rates to improve reactant accessibility to catalytic sites.

Selectivity Control

Characterize competitive adsorption behaviour to enhance reaction selectivity.

Catalyst Stability

Monitor sorption cycles and adsorption reversibility to study catalyst deactivation mechanisms.

Porous Structure Utilization

Evaluate gas transport within catalyst pores to optimize catalyst structure and performance.
