Cover Feature: High Performing and Stable Cu/NiAlO _x Catalysts for the Continuous Catalytic Conversion of Ethanol into Butanol (ChemCatChem 17/2022)

The Cover Feature shows high-performing and stable Cu/NiAlOx catalysts derived from NiAl-hydrotalcite for continuous catalytic conversion of ethanol into butanol, which is one the pivotal processes in biorefinery production renewable fuels value-added chemicals. In their Research Article, Y. Tan, W. Luo, Y.-J. Ding co-workers report that significant enhancement performance terms activity, selectivity stability, can be attained by adding Cu properly NiAl-hydrotalcite. An optimal compromise between butanol sustained over catalyst 1000 h during long-term stability test under moderate reaction condition, reflecting state-of-the-art performances non-noble metal-based heterogeneous this Guerbet coupling process.
