Heterogeneous catalysis involves chemical transformations taking place at the surface of a solid, and is a very complex phenomenon. There is now a consistent set of concepts that allow an understanding of surface catalysis and they even form a basis for design principles for new catalysts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on a graduate\/senior-undergraduate course and suitable as a primer for anyone interested in understanding the field, \u003ci\u003eFundamental Concepts in Heterogeneous Catalysis\u003c\/i\u003e presents the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fundamentals of surface reaction phenomena including potential energy diagrams, free energy diagrams, and kinetic models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTools to reduce the complexity of heterogeneous catalysis including scaling relations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn understanding of trends in catalysis including activity and selectivity maps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn introduction to electronic structure effects in catalysis and an understanding of structural effects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplication to a series of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions including reactions of interest in energy conversion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn integration of the conceptual frameworks of electro-catalysis and thermal heterogeneous catalysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn understanding of the effect of promoters and poisons in heterogeneous catalysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike most textbooks in the field, the aim of this monograph is not to give a complete overview of the types of catalysts or catalytic processes, but to provide interested students and researchers with the atomic-scale concepts for understanding catalytic phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJENS K.
