We review experimental and theoretical studies on the design and control of spatiotemporal
behavior in chemical systems. A wide range of approaches have been pursued to control …

Real-world systems can be strongly influenced by time delays occurring in self-coupling
interactions, due to unavoidable finite signal propagation velocities. When the delays …

The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) has been part of diesel exhaust systems since
regulations were introduced to limit the amount of harmful emissions released to the …

Optical probes of heterogeneous catalytic reactions can be valuable tools for optimization
and process control because they can operate under realistic conditions, but often probes …

, T the CO partial pressure is increased beyond a critical value a transition to qualitatively
different dynamic behavior takes place. The elliptical fronts give way to oxygen spiral waves …

Catalytic CO oxidation on Pt (111) to CO2 was studied under atmospheric pressures of CO
and O2 and at various temperatures. Surface vibrational spectroscopy by sum frequency …

In analogy to real thermodynamic phase transitions, the term “kinetic phase transition”
physically means that the kinetic behaviour of the system under consideration changes …

Real catalysts frequently consist of nm-sized (1–100nm) metal particles deposited on the
internal surface of a more or less inactive porous support. The complexity of such systems in …

A systematic study of spiral waves in a realistic reaction-diffusion model describing the
isothermal CO oxidation on pte 110) is carried out. Spirals exist under oscillatory, excitable …

Heterogeneous catalytic reactions exhibit under certain conditions kinetic oscillations which
have been investigated both with polycrystalline materials and with single crystal surfaces …
