11/30 Webinar: Surface Science and Catalytic Functions

Clarifying the reaction mechanism through atomic and molecular level analysis of the catalyst surface. Learning about the enhancement of catalyst performance and rational design through kinetics analysis and model catalyst research.

**Title: "Clarification of Catalytic Functions through Surface Scientific Methods - For Basic Research and Development G"** This seminar systematically explains the fundamentals and applications necessary to understand reactions occurring on catalyst surfaces at the atomic and molecular level, leading to the rational design of high-performance catalysts. Participants will learn about the elementary processes of surface reactions, kinetics measurement and analysis, surface electronic states, local structure analysis using STM, and the application of this knowledge to the research and development of practical catalysts. **Knowledge Gained from the Seminar:** - Fundamentals of equilibrium theory and kinetics of catalytic reactions, and analysis of reaction rates - Experimental measurements and analysis of elementary processes using surface scientific methods - Reactivity of material surfaces and the relationship between surface electronic states and reactivity - Utilization of surface reaction elementary process data and creation of potential energy diagrams - Transition from model catalyst research to the development of practical powdered catalysts **Target Audience for the Seminar:** - Researchers and engineers from companies, universities, and public research institutions - R&D personnel in the fields of catalysis, chemistry, semiconductors, and electronic components
