Development of the Ideas of M.I. Temkin in Physical Chemistry

详细

This article considers pioneering works by M.I. Temkin in the field of adsorption, the theory of elementary stages of surface processes and general questions describing condensed phases using as examples the processes on surfaces in dense monolayers and in the volume phase. A brief review of the subsequent development of his ideas in these areas is given. The questions of the correct way to take into account the cooperative behavior of adsorbed species in equilibrium and surface reactions and the principle of self-consistent description of the rates of stages and the equilibrium state of the reactants for heterogeneous surfaces and nonideal reaction systems are discussed.
