Front Cover: Enhancing the Hydrodeoxygenation and Isomerization using Re Nanoparticles Decorated on Ni/SAPO‐11 Catalysts for Direct Production of Low‐Cold Flow Diesel from Triglycerides (ChemCatChem 19/2023)

Abstract

The Front Cover illustrates an artwork design for showcasing the developed bifunctional NiRe/SAPO-11 catalyst along with “KHON”, the masked dance drama in Thailand. In their Research Article, A. Srifa and co-workers designed the Re nanoparticles decorated on Ni/SAPO-11 catalyst for an economically combined process of direct triglycerides hydro-deoxygenation and isomerization into low-cold flow diesel. The diesel production comprising iso-alkanes components with proper catalyst lifetime and low carbon deposition are attributed to the fabricated active Ni with nanosized Re on bimodal SAPO-11 features with large distribution of Lewis acidic sites. It′s interesting to note that the cold-flow properties of liquid product are in the range of winter diesel standards. More information can be found in the Research Article by A. Srifa co-workers.
