Chapter one: Introduction to catalytic material science By Dr. Yejun Qiu Part I. Importance of catalysis Part II. Basic concepts Part III. Catalytic basic principles Definition of activation energy (Ea): In chemistry, activation energy is a term introduced in 1889 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that is defined as the energy that must be overcome in order for a chemical reaction to occur. Activation energy may also be defined as the minimum energy required to start a chemical reaction. The activation energy of a reaction is usually denoted by Ea, and given in units of kilojoules p
