Ionic Precursors Transformed Into Vinyl Acetate Synthesis Catalyst via Reaction‐Driven Restructuring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that a simple physical mixture of Pd and Au ionic precursors, KOAc promoter, and SiO2 support can transform into a highly active vinyl acetate synthesis catalyst through reaction‐driven restructuring. The results highlight reaction‐induced restructuring as an innovative and sustainable catalyst design strategy.

Carbon–Carbon Composite Membranes Derived from Small-Molecule-Compatibilized Immiscible PBI/6FDA-DAM-DABA Polymer Blends

Separations
The use of immiscible polymer blends in gas separations is limited due to uncontrollable phase separation. In contrast, compatibilized immiscible polymer blends can be used as precursors with controlled morphologies that allow for a unique pore ...
