Paradigm Shift in Mechanistic Understanding and Catalyst Design for Heterogeneous Ethylene Methoxycarbonylation

catalyst shows over 80 times higher activity than Ru nanocatalysts and 6 times that of Pt single-atom catalysts. It also demonstrates exceptional stability over 180 h, with a turnover number exceeding 200,000, surpassing all known heterogeneous ethylene methoxycarbonylation catalysts and rivaling Pd catalysts.
