“…[10,11] it was suggested that theoretically sound values of pre-exponential factors, activation energies, adsorption enthalpy and entropy, distribution functions for the number of actives sites with different heats of adsorption, Polanyi parameters for elementary steps, etc., should be introduced as an input to computer subroutines. A more refined methodology coined microkinetic modelling [4,[13][14][15][16], has become a widespread approach to incorporate the essential features of surface chemistry. For relatively simple cases, such as ammonia synthesis, based on the surface science data it is possible to describe the experimental observations without any fitting of the parameters.…”
