Photocatalytic Studies Using Temperature Programmed Desorption Mass Spectrometry (TPD-MS)

Thermal analysis consists of many techniques for the exploration of the physical properties of different substrates and adsorbents. Samples are subjected to programmed temperature exposure, and data is represented as a function of temperature. Thermal analysis methods are increasingly important in many industries including, but not limited to, quality control and industrial research on products such as polymers, pharmaceuticals, clays and minerals, food packaging, and metals and alloys. In this application note, a surface was dosed with CD3OH before exploiting to laser irradiation.
