Metal-Acid Synergy: Hydrodeoxygenation of Anisole over Pt/Al-SBA-15.

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Karen Wilson and Adam Lee at RMIT University. The image shows platinum nanoparticles and Brønsted acid sites working cooperatively to catalyse the efficient hydrodeoxygenation of phenolic lignin residues to produce sustainable biofuels.
