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 HC has been organized. 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, gas-surface dynamics, and other novel studies of active surfaces, several new areas will be explored. New sessions will focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis over surfaces, exotic surfaces, and as well as single-atom catalysis and new materials in line with the Symposium theme of “Imperfectly Perfect Materials”. 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.
