The role of the metal core in the WOx inverse catalyst performance

In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Vlachos and co-workers unravel the impact of different transition metals in inverse M-WOx catalysts in (1) the formation of Brønsted acid sites on the WOx domains, (2) determining their nature and density on WOx domains, and (3) altering their dynamics under varying reaction environments.
