to misleading results coming from the characterization. Both operando and spectro-kinetic approaches are described as advanced tools for the settlement of structure–activity in photo-catalysis. Such tools are used to obtain information about
the catalytic active phases as well as for interpreting the mechanism and relevant
kinetic steps of the catalytic processes. In these cases, we reviewed more exciting
results coming from the application of characterization techniques such as infrared
and Raman, electron paramagnetic, X-ray photoelectron and absorption, and nuclear
magnetic resonance spectroscopies.
