Abstract

Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations in combination with first-principles-based calculations are rapidly becoming the gold-standard computational framework for bridging the gap between the wide range of length and time-scales over which heterogeneous catalysis unfolds. First-principles KMC (1p-KMC) simulations provide accurate insights into reactions over surfaces, a vital step towards the rational design of novel catalysts. In this perspective article, we briefly outline basic principles, computational challenges, successful applications, as well as future directions and opportunities of this promising and ever more popular kinetic modeling approach.
