Catalysis-Articles-open-access

Catalysis is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst, which is not consumed in the catalysed reaction and can continue to act repeatedly. Because of this, only very small amounts of catalyst are required to alter the reaction rate in most cases. Generally, chemical reactions occur faster in the presence of a catalyst because the catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy than the non-catalysed mechanism. In catalysed mechanisms, the catalyst usually reacts to form a temporary intermediate, which then regenerates the original catalyst in a cyclic process. A substance which provides a mechanism with higher activation energy does not decrease the rate because the reaction can still occur by the non-catalysed route. An added substance which does reduce the reaction rate is not considered a catalyst but a reaction inhibitor.
