For microtomography experiments, the catalyst bodies were added to a quartz capillary, and no further preparation was carried out. For the ptychographic X-ray nanotomography experiments, the sample was milled by using FIB to extract a cylinder of 8 μm diameter out of one spherical catalyst body with diameter of about 100 μm. This cylinder was mounted on the sample holder of the instrument.[21 (link), 22 (link)] Both X-ray imaging experiments were carried out at the Swiss Light Source, Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland. X-ray microtomography was performed at the TOMCAT beamline and ptychographic X-ray tomography was carried out at the cSAXS beamline. The mercury PSD measurement was carried out on a Micromeritics Autopore IV 9520 unit. Further experimental details and data processing are given in the Supporting Information.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
