Frontiers in Catalysis Research

The chemical or biological process whereby the presence of an external compound, a catalyst, serves as an agent to cause a chemical reaction to occur or to improve reaction performance without altering the external compound.

Catalysis is a very important process from an industrial point of view since the production of most industrially important chemicals involve catalysis.

Research into catalysis is a major field in applied science, and involves many fields of chemistry and physics.

The new book brings together leading research in this vibrant field.
