Preferred term

chemisorption  

Definition(s)

  • Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption which involves a chemical reaction between the surface and the adsorbate. New chemical bonds are generated at the adsorbent surface. Examples include macroscopic phenomena that can be very obvious, like corrosion, and subtler effects associated with heterogeneous catalysis, where the catalyst and reactants are in different phases. The strong interaction between the adsorbate and the substrate surface creates new types of electronic bonds. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemisorption)
