Abstract

The phenomenon of catalysis, the acceleration (of the rate) of a chemical reaction by means of a (catalyst) material through an energetically favorable mechanism, is a concept known for almost 200 years. The technological revolution in the last century would not have been possible without catalysis and nowadays approximately 85–90 % of the products of the chemical industry are made using catalytic processes, making a world without catalysis hard to imagine [1].
