Fundamental Concepts in Heterogeneous Catalysis

This book is based on a graduate course and suitable as a primerfor any newcomer to the field, this book is a detailed introductionto the experimental and computational methods that are used tostudy how solid surfaces act as catalysts.

Features include: * First comprehensive description of modern theory ofheterogeneous catalysis * Basis for understanding and designing experiments in the field * Allows reader to understand catalyst design principles * Introduction to important elements of energy transformationtechnology * Test driven at Stanford University over several semesters
