The book Metal-Support and Metal-Additive Effects in Catalysis focuses on how interactions between metals and their supporting materials influence catalytic activity and selectivity. It explains that the performance of catalysts is not determined by the metal alone, but also by the support and added promoters, which can modify electronic properties, surface structure, and reaction pathways. The…
