Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This course gives fundamental knowledge of catalysis of solid materials based on physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry.
[Aim of the course] To understand the heterogeneous catalysis, topics include adsorption phenomena on solid surface, design of catalytically active site, catalytic reaction kinetics, reaction mechanism, and method to evaluate the catalytic performances. Furthermore, this course also focuses on characterization of solid catalysts and catalytic surface. Detailed reaction kinetics and reaction mechanism will also be discussed.
