Front Cover: Enhanced Effect of the Mesoporous Carbon on Iron Carbide Catalyst for Hydrogenation of Dimethyl Oxalate to Ethanol (ChemCatChem 20/2022)

The Front Cover shows a supported Fe5C2 catalyst, which was designed and prepared with mesoporous carbon as the carrier. The oxygen‐containing functional groups (especially COOH group) on the surface of the carbon inhibit the formation of iron carbides. However, the mesoporous carbon exhibits a positive effect on the dispersion of iron species. In their Research Article, Y. Zhao and co‐workers suggest a practical strategy in fabricating a supported iron carbides catalyst for the chemosynthesis of ethanol via DMO hydrogenation from syngas.
