This new atomistic and mechanistic perspective has brought fresh fundamental
insights to heterogeneous catalysis: the activity for a number of reactions often
peaks on a certain metal when correlated with some measure of reactivity across a
series of metals, thus displaying a “volcano” trend. Nørskov and co-workers have
convincingly demonstrated that this behavior is the result of key competing processes in a reaction network connected via a common intermediate, just as described
by the Sabatier principle.
