Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The Front Cover</bold> depicts the deactivation of hierarchical Pd@CeO₂ catalysts for methane combustion in the presence of water. In their Full Paper, M. Monai et al. report the detrimental effect of water on methane catalytic oxidation at high temperature (over 600°C), observed for the first time for hierarchical Pd@CeO₂ based catalysts. In a previous work, these catalysts, tested under laboratory conditions, were more active and thermally stable than conventional catalysts having the same formulation, however, introduction of water vapor into the reaction mixture leads to dramatic deactivation of the catalyst. The paper reiterates the importance of studying catalytic activity approaching conditions typical of real applications.
