Description
Summary:The Front Cover depicts that light hydrocarbons are successfully synthesized from methane using a TiO2/macroporous silica catalyst in a cold plasma‐bed. In their Full Paper, J. Kim, S. Kim et al. explain that the hydrocarbon intermediates on TiO2 active sites seem to prefer to form longer hydrocarbons, that is, light oil rather than coke in terms of dehydrogenation energy and relative adsorption energy by DFT calculations, as well as analytical methods such as GC, TG/DTA, and HR‐XPS. They also explain that macroporous silica with appropriate particle size, pore size, and dielectric constant is essential to control the ratio of paraffin to olefin under plasma conditions.
