Nano Bifunctional Catalysts as Miniaturized Chemical Processes for CO x -to-Aromatics Conversion

ConspectusModern catalysis has traditionally focused on the optimization of isolated active sites; however, industrial-scale chemical manufacturing relies on the integration of reaction, transfer, separation, and feedback operations. The disconnection between these two disciplines─catalysis and process engineering─creates a fundamental gap between molecular precision and process efficiency. Bridging this gap requires reimagining the catalyst not as a static reactive surface, but as a nano miniaturized chemical process, where sequential unit operations are spatially and kinetically coordinated within a single material framework. Consequently, achieving such process intensification at the catalytic scale…
