Catalysis at SurfacesAuthor(s): Wolfgang Grnert, Wolfgang Kleist, Martin Muhler\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: De Gruyter, Germany\nImprint: De Gruyter\nISBN-13: 9783110632477, 978-3110632477\nSynopsis\nCatalysis is at the heart of the chemical industry, which uses solid catalysts for the large-scale production of commodity chemicals. Catalysis at surfaces is also the basis for the ongoing transition to a sustainable energy supply, which requires molecules such as hydrogen, ammonia or methanol to store energy in chemical bonds, and environmental protection equally relies on heterogeneous catalysis. \n\n Catalysis at surfaces is a truly interdisciplinary field, which requires profound knowledge from chemistry, physics and engineering as provided by this textbook. All essential tools are described ranging from the synthesis and modification of porous solids over bulk- and surface-sensitive characterization techniques to currently applied theoretical methods. A close-up to the important.
