Abstract: Advances in catalytic characterization using UV Raman spectroscopy, including the characterization of highly dispersed transition metal oxides on supports, transition metal ions in the framework of microporous and mesoporous materials, the synthesis mechanism of zeolites, and the surface phase of metal oxide catalysts, have been made by taking the advantages of UV Raman spectroscopy and resonance Raman effect.

Key words: UV Raman, in situ Raman, microporous and mesoporous material, transition metal-containing microporous and mesoporous material, synthesis mechanism, phase transformation
