Abstract

This chapter reviews fundamental concepts of catalysis for the purpose of explanation and discussion of three different kinds of catalysis that are related to X-ray nanochemistry. The three are regular heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis and chemical enhancement as defined in Chap. 3. Each kind of catalysis is discussed and publications in the three areas are reviewed.

Running a business or any project is like taking a downhill mogul run - it is all about managing the transition. You can have a great run even though it does not look like you are going directly home most of the time.
