What is the Role of Adsorption and Desorption in Catalyst Design?
The interplay between adsorption and desorption is a key consideration in catalyst design. An ideal catalyst should have a balanced adsorption and desorption profile to maximize its efficiency. Catalysts are often designed with specific active sites that favor the adsorption of reactants and the desorption of products. The choice of support materials, promoters, and inhibitors can also be tailored to optimize these processes.
