Effects of Electronic Charge Transfer between Adsorbate and Solid on Chemisorption and Catalysis

摘要: When chemisorption on a semiconductive solid is accompanied by electronic charge transfer between adsorbate and solid, an boundary layer analogous to that in rectifying junctions may develop polarization of charges the result. These phenomena limit or control characteristics. The theory developed for electrical contacts elementary considerations concerning effect potential are applied derive form relationships extent, heats, rates some consequences with respect catalysis. An attempt made illustrate detailed physical processes order examine meaning ``heterogeneity'' ``active centers'' cases this type chemisorption.
