How catalysts accelerate the rate of chemical reactions
The catalyst selectively adsorbs CO, CO2, H2, etc., locally increasing the concentration of reactants and accelerating the chemical reaction rate
Catalysts can accelerate chemical reactions by reducing their activation energy.
I agree with the view above: a catalyst reduces the activation energy of a reaction, which in effect increases the concentration of the reactants involved in that reaction.
