Abstract
different methods, catalysts prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) showed catalytic activity for the hydroformylation reaction at lower temperatures (413 K), whereas catalysts prepared by wet impregnation (WI) showed the highest stability. These results not only provide fundamental insights into the atomistic level of industrially relevant reactions but also pave the way for a rational design of new catalysts in the future.
