The characterization of catalysts involves a knowledge of the physical properties of the catalyst as well as an understanding of structure-reactivity or selectivity relationships during the catalytic process. This is achieved by combining spectroscopic...
Electrolysis is gaining momentum as an option for carbon-free hydrogen production from both nuclear and renewable sources. Electrolysis works by harnessing electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen inside a unit called an electrolyzer. This article will...
This article serves to outline the range of applications of thermal analysis techniques that are used to study catalysis. Thermal analysis techniques are useful for studying catalysts and understanding surface species because they can be used to activate,...
Chemical adsorption, also known as chemisorption, is the process that results from a chemical bond between adsorbate molecules and particular surface locations on a material. These locations are known as active sites. This article will outline the process of...
Heterogeneous catalysis refers to a wide range of catalytic solids and industrial processes for producing chemicals, materials, and fuels. Because of its broad nature, academic and industrial research in heterogeneous catalysis can be based on anything from the atomic...
