Transient heterogeneous kinetics:Dynamic catalyst development

SSCI-VIDE+ING+YSCInternational audienceTransient experiments can provide more information than steady-state experiments and are particularly useful in unraveling complex reaction networks. However, the experiments are more complicated to perform and more time and effort for data treatment/modeling is required than for steady-state experiments and therefore these methods are mostly used by academic research groups. A large variety of different transient kinetics methods have been developed, each with its own characteristics. This presentation will give an overview of different approaches of transient kinetics in heterogeneous catalysis. It will give specific examples on how qualitatively and quantitatively transient kinetics can provide more information than steady-state experiments and how this can be used for rational catalyst development
