讲座摘要:
Heterogeneous catalysis has been a key focus for researchers across many disciplines, including chemistry, physics, materials science and even engineering and to understand the subject is one of the ultimate goals in physical science. In the last twenty years or so, theoretical catalysis has become very important to achieve this goal. In this talk, firstly I will briefly review the history of theoretical catalysis. Then, I will present some of recent theoretical progresses in heterogeneous catalysts. I will show how photo-catalytic progresses can be simulated using DFT. The adsorption/desorption in catalytic processes will be discussed.
