Surface chemistry is the study of the physical and chemical phenomena that occur at the boundary (interface) between two bulk phases.
A pure compound or a solution can be used as the bulk phase.
The bulk phases can be solid-liquid, solid-gas, solid-vacuum, liquid-gas, and so on.
Some applications of surface chemistry are known as surface engineering. There are various phenomena taking place on the surface of substances and some of them are:
- Adsorption
- Heterogeneous Catalysis
- Corrosion
- Crystallization
