e-SPRESSO Webinar | Catalyst Insights: From Structure to Reactivity

Catalyst design and performance cannot be fully understood without looking at the complete picture – from the smallest micropores to the reduction and oxidation properties. This webinar takes participants on a journey through three layers of insight, building on each other to provide an unmatched understanding of catalytic behavior.

We begin with micropore analysis, showing how the Autosorb delivers high-resolution data that goes beyond mesopores. Attendees will learn why micropores are critical for dispersing reactive sites and controlling diffusion in catalytic systems. Without understanding the pore structure, you see only a glimpse of how catalysts perform under real conditions.

Next, we explore temperature programmed studies with a TCD on the Autosorb. Participants will discover how TPR, TPO, and TPD experiments reveal the nature and distribution of active sites, provide insights into metal-support interactions, and highlight adsorption strengths. These measurements are essential for catalyst optimization, stability testing, and predicting lifetime performance – information that goes far beyond traditional surface area and pore size data.

Finally, the session dives into mass spectrometry coupled chemisorption with the Autosorb. This integration provides real-time detection of gas species, enabling researchers to track reaction intermediates, products, and decomposition pathways as they occur. By linking gas evolution to structural and functional changes in catalysts, mass spectrometry clears the path forward for developing next-generation materials with higher selectivity and efficiency.

Key takeaways for attendees:

• Understand how micropore adsorption impacts catalyst selectivity, storage and transport.
• Learn how TPR, TPO, and TPD provide a deeper view of active site distribution, adsorption strength, and reaction mechanisms
• See how mass spectrometry delivers insights into gas evolution, decomposition, and catalyst selectivity.

Who should attend:

This webinar is designed for researchers, process engineers, and labs in the catalysis and chemical industries who are working to improve catalyst design, enhance process efficiency, or better understand structure-performance relationships. Whether your focus is petrochemicals, emissions control, hydrogenation, or advanced catalyst development, this session with demonstrate how the Autosorb family can provide critical data to guide innovation.
