What Role Does Diffusion Play?

Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. In catalysis, diffusion is vital for transporting reactants to the catalyst and removing products. The efficiency of diffusion can significantly affect the overall reaction rate, especially in heterogeneous catalysis where the reaction occurs at the surface of a solid catalyst.
