The Role of Surface Diffusion in the Langmuir-Hinshelwood Mechanism

Mechanism of carbon gasification—conformation of etch pits on graphite surface with and without tungsten catalyst

“…the only studies on the kinetics and mechanism of gas-carbon reactions using electron microscopy have been done by the authors. It has been shown that the surface diffusion of chemisorbed oxides is important in the carbon-oxygen reaction on surfaces with isolated active sites (Yang and Wong, 1981a), and the surface diffusion contribution to the rate has been quantitatively characterized by an inert gas flush technique (1981b,c).…”
