摘要:
The relations between the microscopic description of the dynamics of chemical reactions at metal surfaces and our understanding of the activity of heterogeneous catalysts is discussed. It is shown that in some cases we start understanding some of the factors determining the catalytic activity of a given surface. Examples will be given, ranging from detailed reaction dynamics studies of simple adsorption reactions to a prediction of the trends in the ammonia synthesis rate along the transition metal series.
