The study of phenomena occurring on the surfaces of substances is referred to as surface chemistry. This is incredibly useful in both industry and everyday life. Surface chemistry, in other words, is concerned with all forms of surface phenomena.
Surfaces – the "seats of communication" between phases - produce novel chemical and physical phenomena, and these qualities are significant in a wide range of applications, including catalysis.
Surfaces and interfaces operate as a barrier between a substance and its surroundings, influencing how it interacts with them. At the molecular level, the surface atoms have a distinct chemical environment than those in the bulk, with fewer nearest neighbors. Adsorption of reactants from a reaction mixture, surface diffusion and reaction of adsorbed species, and desorption of reaction products are all examples of heterogeneous catalytic reactions that take place on the surface of solid catalysts.
