About this document
Understanding Catalytic Surface Theory by Johanna Santiago Guerrero is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses a theory of catalytic surfaces. It proposes that only a small fraction of a catalyst surface is active, and this active fraction contains metal atoms of varying saturation due to an incomplete crystallization process. Metal atoms with fewer constraints can adsorb multiple reactant molecules, providing a mechanism for reactions on the surface. The theory aims to explain observations of varying adsorption and reactivity across catalyst surfaces.
