Kinetics of catalytic reactions with two types of sites: nonuniform surfaces
Several aspects of heterogeneous catalytic kinetics over induced nonuniform surfaces are considered. The reaction mechanism is thought to occur through a surface collision of species, adsorbed on two distinct surface sites, which display nonuniform behavior. The expressions for rates of elementary reactions have been deduced within the framework of the surface electronic gas model, which accounts for the case of inhomogeneous surface. Equations for catalyst activity in the range of medium coverage have been derived and compared with the power-law model.
