Written by leading surface scientists, Impact of Surface Science on Catalysis is a compendium of up-to-date theoretical and experimental results fundamental to understanding surface catalysis. The contents illustrate the dramatic developments in surfaces and adsorbates emerging from density functional theory, calorimetry, and scanning tunneling microscopy. Results of sum frequency generation provide explanations of how reactive intermediates on surfaces are measured during catalysis. Additionally, new data illustrate structures and reactivities of metal oxide surfaces and metal particles dispersed on thin, well-ordered oxide layers.
