Abstract:
The metal dispersion of a Pt-Al2O3 catalyst was measured reproducibly using pulse CO chemisorption with 4 mg of sample in a silicon microfabricated packed-bed reactor, demonstrating the applicability of micoreactors for high-throughput catalyst characterization with quantitative comparison.
