Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>A recording industry patent</bold> </italic> from the 1960s forms the inspiration for designing new core–shell Fischer–Tropsch catalysts. By tweaking the deposition and layer‐growth process, G. Rothenberg et al. show in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 4397 ff.</ext-link> how uniform spherical particles of iron oxide coated with a 1 nm cobalt shell can be prepared. Pelleted together with nanosized alumina particles, these catalysts are stable up to 673 K, and give good diesel fractions under Fischer–Tropsch conditions.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1xprft1z" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
