Abstract

The adsorption and desorption of gas-phase molecules on solid surfaces are elementary steps in heterogeneous catalysis. However, capturing these dynamics under finite-temperature and coverage-dependent conditions remains challenging because static models cannot fully describe the coupled motion of adsorbates and surface atoms. In this study, we investigate the adsorption/desorption dynamics of CO…
