Abstract:
Invited for this month's cover is the research group of Olaf Deutschmann and the team of Patrick Lott at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The Cover image shows how an electrically heated reactor converts methane from natural gas or biogas into gaseous hydrogen and elemental carbon by means of high-temperature pyrolysis. The transfer of this technology into industrial applications can be a valuable contribution towards a decarbonization of the chemical industry and the establishment of a hydrogen economy. The Research Article itself is available at 10.1002/cssc.202201720.
