How catalysts secretly lose their stability

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are less stable as catalysts than previously thought but remain highly active.

COFs are promising designer catalysts for the sustainable production of chemicals and fuels.

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum , Germany , and the Max Planck Institutes for Solid State Research (MPI-FKF) have shown that the catalytic activity is not generated by the COFs themselves.

Instead, cobalt ions detach from the scaffold and transform into oxidic nanoparticles that actually facilitate catalysis.
