Unlocking Enhanced Hydrogen Storage in Naphthalene via K‐Induced Acidity and Metal Dispersion in Dendritic Catalysts

Carbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.
Dendritic micro‐mesoporous composite catalysts through K‐induced enhancement of acidity and metal dispersion were developed. ABSTRACT Novel dendritic ZSM‐22/DMSNs (ZD) micro‐mesoporous composites with center–radial pore structure and suitable acidity were developed by nano‐assembly strategy. Subsequently, Pt/ZD‐K catalysts were synthesized based on the
