catalysis
The changing of a rate of a chemical reaction by the addition of a small amount of a substance which is unchanged at the end of the reaction. Such a substance is called a catalyst, though this term is usually reserved for substances which speed up reactions; additives which slow down reactions are called inhibitors.
