Abstract

Abstract : Crystallinity is the key for the design of a new generation of carbon‐based catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde. In their Research Article on page 5898, Bastian J. M. Etzold and co‐workers report the synthesis of a novel carbon catalyst that exhibits a comparatively large particle size (100 μm) while featuring an easily accessible crystalline nanostructure. An order of magnitude higher space–time yields could be achieved with this new catalyst system compared to carbon nanotubes as benchmark.
