How Do Vibrational Excited States Influence Adsorption and Desorption Processes?
In adsorption and desorption processes, vibrational excited states can significantly influence the interaction between the reactants and the catalyst surface. Excited states may alter the binding energy of molecules, making it easier for them to adsorb onto or desorb from the catalyst. This can affect the overall rate of catalytic reactions and the availability of active sites on the catalyst surface.
