The adhesion of nanoparticles to their supports is key performance and stability. However, scientific advances in this area have been hampered by the difficulty experimentally probing adhesion. To date, only a single technique has developed that can directly measure nanoparticle adhesion, inherently limited monometallic systems. We present versatile for direct measurement bimetallic This combines spatial resolution transmission electron microscopy with force an atomic microscope probe...
Coke formation poses a significant obstacle in the direct conversion of methane into valuable chemicals such as ethylene, benzene, and hydrogen via dehydro-aromatization (MDA). At elevated temperatures necessary for this reaction, coke is thermodynamically favored product, causing rapid catalyst deactivation hence necessitating frequent regeneration. Successful industrial implementation MDA requires advancement regeneration processes comprehensive understanding to enhance performance. Here,...
