Past webinar: Adsorption of atoms and molecules on catalyst surfaces: A theoretical perspective
When: 25 January 2021, 15:00 Webinar with Dr. Arunabhiram Chutia (Lincoln). Adsorption of atoms and molecules is a fundamental process, which takes place on a catalyst surface before they dissociate, diffuse over the surface and recombine with other adsorbed species to form the final product. Therefore, understanding the local geometrical…
