1. attached or bound to a surface through chemical adsorption; having undergone chemisorption
Usage: technical; chemistry

Examples

• The chemosorbed molecules formed a stable layer on the catalyst surface.
• Oxygen atoms became chemosorbed onto the metal substrate during the reaction.
• The chemosorbed species remained bound even after heating to high temperatures.
• Researchers studied how chemosorbed intermediates affect reaction kinetics.
• The chemosorbed layer exhibited different properties than the bulk material.
