## Overview
Catalysts accelerate reactions without being consumed, enabling most of the
chemical industry. This skill covers the essential framework: catalytic
cycles and mechanisms, rate laws and turnover metrics, the Sabatier
principle, standard characterization (chemisorption, TPR/TPD, operando
spectroscopy), and diagnosing deactivation (poisoning, sintering, coking,
leaching).
## When to use
- Screening catalysts: choosing metrics (conversion, selectivity, TOF) and fair test conditions
- Measuring kinetics: determining rate laws, activation energies, and reaction orders
- Characterizing a catalyst: dispersion, oxidation state, acidity, active sites
