Abstract
The fundamental understanding of the activity in heterogeneous catalysis has long been the major subject in chemistry. This paper shows the development of a two-step model to understand this activity. Using the theory of chemical potential kinetics with Bronsted-Evans-Polanyi relations, the general adsorption energy window is determined from volcano curves, using which the best catalysts can be searched. Significant insights into the reasons for catalytic activity are obtained.
