Abstract

Heterogeneous catalytic reactions are complex chemical systems. This is even the case for the oxidation of CO which looks simple with respect to the mechanistic overall formula but it is of high complexity. There are conditions under which this reaction occurs in an oscillatory state[1–8] or even in a chaotic regime [9–11]. The patterns which arise during CO-oxidation by means of palladium support catalysts possess self-similar time series of CO-conversion and CO2-production.
