Focus Topic: Fundamental Discoveries in Heterogeneous Catalysis (HC)

The Fundamental Discoveries in Heterogeneous Catalysis (HC) Focus Topic highlights recent advances in the understanding of the atomic and molecular basis for heterogeneously-catalyzed reactions on solid surfaces. This will be the fifth time the HC Focus Topic has been organized. This year, HC is coordinated with the Surface Science (SS), Applied Surface Science (AS), and Thin Films (TF) Divisions, and the 2D Materials (2D), Light Sources (LS), and Chemical Analysis and Imaging (CA) Focus Topics. Emphasis will be on facilitating dialogue between surface science-based and applied communities studying heterogeneously-catalyzed systems. In addition to previous session topics including theoretical models, nanoscale structures, reaction pathways, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and other novel studies of active surfaces, several new areas will be explored. New sessions will focus on bridging gaps and ambient pressure studies, single atom catalysts, and electrocatalysis, in line with the Symposium theme on interfacial science for energy and the environment. HC will highlight connections among theoretical and experimental approaches with the goal of revealing key details of the fundamental chemistry and physics underlying heterogeneous catalysis. Of particular interest are developments in chemical understanding, atomic-level details, and predictive models of reactions catalyzed by metal surfaces.
