What are the Applications of Computational Modeling in Catalysis?
Computational modeling has a wide range of applications in catalysis, including:
Catalyst Design: Predicting the most effective catalyst structures for specific reactions. Reaction Mechanism Elucidation: Understanding the step-by-step pathways of chemical reactions on catalyst surfaces. Optimization of Reaction Conditions: Identifying optimal temperatures, pressures, and other conditions for catalytic reactions. Environmental Catalysis: Developing catalysts for pollution control, such as for the reduction of NOx emissions.
