报告摘要:
Heterogeneous catalysis has been a key focus for researchers across many disciplines, including chemistry, physics, materials science and even engineering and to understand the subject is one of the ultimate goals in physical science. In the last twenty years or so, theoretical catalysis has become very important to achieve this goal. In this talk, firstly I will briefly review the history of theoretical catalysis. Then, I will present some of our work on the understanding of activity of heterogeneous catalysts. The activity of catalysts, the so-called volcano curve, will be discussed and some key properties for the activity of catalysts will be identified. Finally, I will show how the understanding of activity of catalysts from DFT studies can be used to rationally design new catalysts.
