Characterization of Metal‐zeolite Composite Catalysts: Determining the Environment of the Active Phase

Metal‐zeolite composite catalysts are attracting increased attention due to their unique multifunctional properties. However, it is challenging to identify the physicochemical environment of the active phase, which is essential to improve our understanding of the structure‐performance relationships of such complex catalysts. In this work, commonly available analytical techniques (FTIR, TEM, XRD, etc.) and state‐of‐the‐art user instrumentation...
