This review highlights UV-vis-NIR range absorption spectroscopy in catalysis. A variety of experimental techniques identifying reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and structural properties are discussed. Stopped flow techniques, use of laser pulses, and use of experimental perturbations are demonstrated for studies of enzymatic, homogeneous, heterogeneous, and photocatalysis.

- Carbon dioxide is a big problem for our planet because it causes climate change, so scientists are trying to capture it and turn it into useful products like fuel.
- One way to turn carbon dioxide into a useful chemical called CHOH involves different methods, including special catalysts and processes that use light or electricity.
- Right now, using certain catalysis techniques (like heterogeneous hydrogenation and electrocatalysis) seems the best way to make CHOH on a large scale, but we need affordable, eco-friendly electricity to make it work well.
