High-speed snapshots reveal hidden details of catalysis

Developments in time-resolved catalysis research opens a long-awaited opportunity to revisit catalytic reactions that have been subject to scientific debate. In this recent publication, the newly developed method has been used to settle the mechanism for carbon monoxide transformation to carbon dioxide over a platinum catalyst. The result is an important step towards optimisation of catalysts.
