What are the Mechanisms of Catalytic Energy Conversion?
The efficiency of catalytic energy conversion depends on the mechanisms through which catalysts operate. These mechanisms include:
Adsorption: Reactants adhere to the catalyst's surface, lowering the activation energy required for the reaction. Reaction Intermediates: Formation of temporary complexes that make the conversion process more efficient. Desorption: Release of the final products from the catalyst surface, regenerating the catalyst for subsequent reactions.
