Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
Explores catalyst characterization methods, including gas adsorption, spectroscopy, and N2 physisorption, highlighting the importance of in situ/operando approaches for understanding catalyst behavior.
Explores the mechanisms and applications of controlled radical polymerization techniques, enabling precise control over polymer structure and composition.
Explores catalysis for emission control, covering catalyst preparation, mobile and stationary sources, three-way catalytic converters, and the evolution of emission control technologies.
Explores chemical equilibrium principles, including Le Châtelier's Principle and equilibrium constants, and discusses the influence of temperature, pressure, and concentration on equilibrium shifts.
