Article Abstract
The ultimate goal of catalysis is to control the cleavage and formation of chemical bonds at the molecular or even atomic level, enabling the customization of catalytic products. The essence of chemical bonding is the electromagnetic interaction between atoms, which makes it possible to directly manipulate the dynamic behavior of molecules and electrons in catalytic processes using external electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields. In this tutorial review, we first introduce the feasibility and importance of field effects in regulating catalytic reaction processes and then outline the basic principles of electric-/magnetic-/electromagnetic-field interaction with matter, respectively. In each section, we further summarize the relevant important advances from two complementary perspectives: the macroscopic molecular motion (including translation, vibration and rotation) and the microscopic intramolecular electron state alteration (including spin polarization, transfer or excitation, and density of states redistribution). Finally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities for further development of catalysis under electric-/magnetic-/electromagnetic-field coupling.
