X-ray Characterisation of Catalysts
In this webinar, Malvern Panalytial presents a variety of X-ray techniques for a structural characterisation of catalysts on the example of automotive three-way catalysts at ambient and non-ambient conditions.
X-ray techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence (XRF) small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray scattering in combination with pair distribution function (PDF) analysis are often traditionally assigned to large-scale facilities such as synchrotrons and spallation neutron sources.
Malvern Panalytical will demonstrate that these methods can be combined on laboratory instruments (most on one single XRD platform).
As a model system we present supported PdO nanoparticles on reducible oxides such as Co3O4 and γ-Fe2O3. Parameters and characteristics that can be extracted from the X-ray experiments are:
- Elemental composition
- Qualitive and quantitative phase composition
- Phase behaviour and stability (in-situ heating and cooling experiments)
- Crystallite size and structure
- Particle size and shape, size distribution, specific surface area
- Short and long-range atomic ordering
The webinar will take place on 19 April at 10:30 (GMT-05:00).
Get the Best of Both Worlds – Coupling Advanced Multi-Detection with UPLC for Faster and More Detailed Polymer Analysis
Multi-detector gel permeation chromatography (GPC) offers superior information about polymers, including absolute molecular weight, size, and structure, when compared with conventional single-detector measurements. At the same time, ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) offers a step-change in the resolution and speed of polymer separations, using small columns and particle sizes to achieve high plate counts.
Previously these two techniques have been incompatible due to band-broadening and dispersion effects that take place as narrow UPLC peaks pass through multiple detector cells.
The latest enhancements to Malvern Panalytical’s OMNISEC REVEAL detector platform now bring these two class-leading technologies together. Combining the information-rich data from multi-detector GPC/SEC with the speed and resolution afforded by UPLC.
This webinar will briefly describe advanced detection and UPLC, and discuss how these two technologies have been brought together. Application examples will be provided showing how this data really can be generated in just a few minutes.
The webinar will take place on 24 April at 10:30 (GMT-05:00)
