788 Novel Catalytic Imaging Techniques

Description:
The ultimate goal of designing a catalyst for a specific purpose requires detailed knowledge of the structura and chemical properties/transformations that occur in real time in the reactive environment. Motivated by this need, a large number of novel catalytic imaging tools have been developed and continue to be developed. These new tools, coupled with theoretical modeling, are providing profound new insights into the relationships between electronic/physical structure and their reactivity, activity and selectivity. The purpose of this session is to provide a forum to discuss catalysis science and technologies enabled by these new ex situ and in situ/operando characterization tools, as well as the needs for future developments in next-generation characterization techniques.
