Abstract
Relaxation measurements are used to establish that for a concentration of gas-phase oxygen atoms n=1014 cm−3 heterogeneous recombination of oxygen atoms at the surface of copper and zinc sulfide takes place by a mechanism involving recombination of preadsorbed (precursor state) atoms. A hypothesis is put forward for the existence of a universal mechanism for the catalytic acceleration of heterogeneous chemical reactions.
