Model-aided catalyst design, optimization and analysis

Catalyst, a material that can affect the rate of a reaction without being changed itself, plays an important role in chemical industry worldwide. Currently, the development of catalysts is based on experiments under the guidance of experience and intuition of chemists. Some chemists follow one-facto...
