The research work is based on finding the characterizations of different catalysts to determine the most effective and appropriate catalyst. This will be done through various methods, such as IR spectrometry with unreactive gases to observe how much the spectra of the catalysts change. This work can be applicable to industrially used catalysts, which accelerate production and creation of other chemical-based materials.
