Catalysis at surfaces

In the new textbook "Catalysis at Surfaces", CRC 1316 project leader and vice-spokesperson Martin Muhler, together with colleagues W.Grünert and W.Kleist, have contributed to view surface catalysis as a truly interdisciplinary field that includes chemistry, physics, and engineering. The synthesis, the modification of porous solids as well as the bulk- and surface-sensitive characterization techniques are shown. Insight is provided into the most important aspects of surface catalysis, thermal catalysis, and photo- and electrocatalysis as future fields of the energy transition.

This textbook is recommended for Master's and Ph.D. students to get deeper into all relevant aspects of catalyst synthesis, characterization, and application in suitable reactors.

The pdf version is free of charge for all RUB members.
