Topology‐Dependent Iso ‐Propanol Dehydration Pathway Over Zeolites
ABSTRACT The zeolite‐catalyzed dehydration of low‐carbon alcohols is a crucial step in the conversion of biomass‐derived compounds. Compared to methanol and ethanol, the propanol dehydration mechanism remains poorly understood. The core challenge lies in the high reactivity and s...

CO-Mediated Relay Catalysis Affords Selective CO2 Hydrogenation to Methanol
Abstract Although technologically promising for producing petrochemicals directly from renewable resources, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol remains a formidable challenge due to the activity-selectivity trade-off. Current industrial copper-based catalysts often generate substantial...
