What Role Do Spin-Spin Interactions Play in Heterogeneous Catalysis?
In heterogeneous catalysis, spin-spin interactions can influence the adsorption and desorption processes of reactants and products on the catalyst surface. For instance, magnetic interactions between the spins of adsorbed species and the catalyst surface can lead to different adsorption energies and configurations, thus affecting the overall catalytic performance. Additionally, these interactions can impact the electronic properties of the catalyst support, further influencing catalytic activity.
