Abstract

Abstract : Atomic‐level insight about the metal–promoter interaction in Rh‐based catalysts for the conversion of syngas to ethanol is provided by X. Huang, M. G. Willinger, A. Trunschke, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 8709 ff. In the best‐performing catalyst (Mn and Fe bi‐promoted Rh on silica), the metal–promoter interaction leads to the formation of an active structure containing a bimetallic Rh–Fe alloy surrounded by MnOx species.
