DESCRIPTION:
This book is based on a graduate course and suitable as a primer for any newcomer to the field, this book is a detailed introduction to the experimental and computational methods that are used to study how solid surfaces act as catalysts. Features include:First comprehensive description of modern theory of heterogeneous catalysisBasis for understanding and designing experiments in the field Allows reader to understand catalyst design principlesIntroduction to important elements of energy transformation technologyTest driven at Stanford University over several semesters
He has pioneered the development of a set of concepts allowing a molecular level understanding of surface chemical processes and heterogeneous catalysis.Felix Studt, PhD, is a Staff Scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

From the Back CoverThe first comprehensive text on the modern theory of heterogeneous catalysisHeterogeneous catalysis is the cornerstone of chemical industry and also holds the key to new processes for sustainable energy conversion and sustainable production of feedstocks for the chemical industry. Heterogeneous catalysis involves chemical transformations taking place at the surface of a solid, and is a very complex phenomenon. There is now a consistent set of concepts that allow an understanding of surface catalysis and they even form a basis for design principles for new catalysts.Based on a graduate/senior-undergradu
Joseph S said The book is well-organized, and covers subject matter generally. The book is well-organized, and covers subject matter generally of interest to someone wanting to gain more understanding of heterogeneous catalysis. It is also very readable and not so esoteric as other books on the subject.
