Abstract

Constructing structure–activity relationships (SAR) between nanocatalysts under reactive atmospheres makes them indispensable for chemical synthesis, energy transformation, and environmental remediation. However, this structure sensitivity remains ambiguous for metals/metal oxides due to dynamic changes in metal valences under a reductive atmosphere. Herein, this study delves into the complexities of Mn-based nanocatalysts, focusing on the impact of the Mn valence state in a test reaction converting sustainable syngas to aromatics-a process highly sensitive to the catalyst’s redox environment and active site characteristics. We conducted a thorough SAR analysis and discovered a direct correlation between the…
