Catalysts is a peer-reviewed open access journal of catalysts and catalyzed reactions published monthly online by MDPI. The Romanian Catalysis Society (RCS) are partners of Catalysts journal and its members receive a discount on the article processing charge.

Catalysis (/ kəˈtæləsɪs /) is the increase in rate of a chemical reaction due to an added substance known as a catalyst[1][2] (/ ˈkætəlɪst /). Catalysts are not consumed by the reaction and remain unchanged after it. [3] .

2024年10月28日 · Catalyst, in chemistry, any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed. Enzymes are naturally occurring catalysts responsible for many essential biochemical reactions. In general, catalytic action is a chemical reaction between the catalyst and a reactant.

2022年9月21日 · In chemistry and biology, a catalyst is a substance the increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed by it. Catalysis is the process of speeding up a reaction using a catalyst. The word “catalyst” comes from the Greek word kataluein, which means to loosen or untie.

DOE focuses on the design of new catalysts and on the use of catalysts to control chemical transformations at the molecular and sub-molecular levels. DOE research emphasizes understanding these reactions and how to make them more efficient and targeted.

2023年6月30日 · What are chemical absorptions and how do they promote chemical reactions? What types of chemisorption lead to the poisoning of a catalyst? How transition metals are chosen as catalysts? What are syngases and how are they prepared? Why metal clusters will be excellent potential catalysts?

2023年6月30日 · A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction without being consumed by it. More specifically, a catalyst provides an alternative, lower activation energy pathway between reactants and products.

Catalysts are substances that increase the reaction rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. A catalyst, therefore, does not appear in the overall stoichiometry of the reaction it catalyzes, but it must appear in at least one of the elementary reactions in the mechanism for the catalyzed reaction.
