Abstract
The Cover Feature illustrates a method to convert CO2 emissions into CH4 by using a 3D-printed carbon monolith with a circular channel design. Inside, NiO-CeO2 nanoparticles are deposited after blocking the carbon porosity with MgO to prevent their becoming embedded in the carbonaceous matrix. On the left, the origin of the starting reagents is shown. In the middle, the monolith impregnated with MgO and the active phase is displayed. Finally, CH4 is generated and delivered to houses as synthetic natural gas. More information can be found in the Research Article by I. Martínez-López, A. Bueno-López and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202401806).
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
