Despite the COVID19 lockdown and the slowdown it caused in many laboratories, we were pleased to be able to have sufficient catalyst compositions produced by Hybrid Catalysis that were made available for the first attempt at printing them.
Initial formulations were printed into cylindrical monoliths that were subsequently tested under DME synthesis conditions at Hybrid Catalysis and ITAE facilities.
