## Abstract

Kinetics of model catalytic processes proceeding on inhomogeneous surfaces is studied. We employ an extended mean-field model that takes into account surface inhomogeneities. The influence of surface diffusion of adsorbent on the kinetics of the catalytic process is investigated. It is shown that diffusion is responsible for differences in the reaction rate of systems with different arrangements of active sites. The presence of cooperative effects between inactive and active sites is demonstrated and the conditions when these effects are important are discussed. We show that basic catalytic phenomena on nonuniform surfaces can be studied with mean-field modeling methods.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
