Katalysator – något som får en reaktion att underlättas eller påskyndas. Kanske inte ett ord som används i allas vardag men det är något som det moderna samhället och många av de produkter du använder dagligen inte hade klarat sig utan. Kemikalier, mediciner och andra nödvändiga produkter som förr kunde ha långdragna, farliga och ineffektiva tillverkningsprocesser kan nu tillverkas säkrare och snaCatalysis is an essential tool in industry, and the developments in catalysis research during the last decades have led to higher efficiency in many important processes. CO oxidation is a common reaction to use in catalysis research both due to its applications in industry but also since it is a simple reaction where the knowledge gained about its reaction mechanism can be applied to important but
