Kinetics of Catalyzed Reactions—Heterogeneous

Abstract

The kinetics of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions are challenging many scientists in various fields. Catalysis is of utmost importance on the route to a sustainable society and, hence, a fundamental understanding of catalytic phenomena is of great importance. This contribution presents the requirements in order to adequately measure the intrinsic rates of catalytic reactions and how these rates can be assessed through proposed reaction mechanisms and corresponding kinetic models.
