Abstract

An operando dual-beam Fourier transform infrared (DB-FTIR) spectrometer was successfully developed using a facile method. The DB-FTIR spectrometer is suitable for the real-time study of the dynamic surface processes involved in gas/solid heterogeneous catalysis under real reaction conditions because it can simultaneously collect reference and sample spectra. The influence of gas-phase molecular vibration and heat irradiation at real reaction temperatures can therefore be eliminated. The DB-FTIR spectrometer was successfully used to follow the transformation of isobutene over nano-sized HZSM-5 zeolite under real reaction conditions.
