Abstract
A kinetic theory is proposed to elucidate complex nature of adsorption and desorption on surface and to calculate the adsorption and desorption rates in a practically simple way. This theory provides decomposition of the energy barriers and considers synergistic effects of lateral interactions between adsorbates. A concise formulation was derived for adsorption and desorption rates on surfaces covered with multi-component adsorbates. The adsorption and desorption rates are formulated by multiplying a two-body synergistic coefficient that is explicitly dependent on surface coverage, compared respectively to those from classical theories.
