Modeling multiscale transport‐reaction in fixed bed reactors for CO 2 hydrogenation to aromatics

Abstract CO 2 hydrogenation to aromatics via methanol is a promising alternative for the low‐carbon and sustainable production of aromatics. Herein, a two‐scale particle‐resolved computational fluid dynamics model is developed to reveal the complex transport‐reaction in the fixed...

Surfactant-Mediated Enantioselective Extraction: Interfacial Behavior Investigation from a Microscopic Perspective

Abstract Enantioselective liquid–liquid extraction (ELLE) based on cyclodextrin host–guest recognition is a promising green strategy for chiral resolution. However, its industrial application is often hindered by restricted chiral recognition efficiency and ill-defined interfacia...

Tuning electron back-donation to switch reaction pathway in CO2 hydrogenation

CO2 hydrogenation over earth-abundant Ni catalysts is attractive for CO-based fuel synthesis, but Ni intrinsically favors methanation. Here we show that ordered Ni3Sn2 intermetallics tune Ni–CO electron back-donation and switch CO2 hydrogenation from CH4 formation to the reverse...
