Dynamic Chemical Processes on Solid Surfaces
Chemical Reactions and Catalysis
Language: English
Release Date: February 7, 2017
In this book, the author determines that a surface is itself a new material for chemical reaction, and the reaction of the surface provides additional new materials on that surface. The revelation of that peculiarity is what makes this book different from an ordinary textbook, and this new point of...
