Pulse chemisorption using a low-volume DRIFTS reactor
28 Sept 2026Transient spectroscopy requires rapid, controlled changes to the gas environment around a catalyst. Excess dead volume can slow gas exchange and limit the study of fast surface processes.
Explore a practical approach to transient catalyst characterization using DRIFTS in this application note from Specac. It demonstrates pulse chemisorption using a low-volume, high-temperature reaction chamber. Discover how sequential CO pulses over a Pt/SiO₂ catalyst enable measurement of surface-site density and visualization of different adsorption sites.
