Gas-Solid Interactions

Gas-solid interactions involve the processes where gases (like oxygen or carbon dioxide) interact with solid surfaces. These interactions include adsorption (gas molecules sticking to the surface), reactions that modify the surface, and surface diffusion. They are fundamental in various applications such as catalysis, filtration, and sensors. The strength and nature of these interactions depend on factors like temperature, pressure, and surface properties. Understanding these interactions helps optimize processes like pollution control, energy production, and material development by controlling how gases and solids work together at the molecular level.
