Researchers use various experimental and computational techniques to study non-linear relationships in catalysis:
1. Kinetic Modeling: Mathematical models are developed to describe the rate of reactions and the behavior of catalysts under different conditions. These models often include non-linear terms to account for complex interactions.
3. Computational Simulations: Methods like Density Functional Theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics simulations help in understanding the atomic-level interactions and potential energy surfaces that contribute to non-linear behavior.
