Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, we compare and assess the performance of silver and copper species in methanol oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) to formaldehyde. Methanol ODH over polycrystalline silver catalysts is a major industrial synthesis route for formaldehyde today. Ag/SiO, Ag/TiO, Ag/ZrO, Cu/SiO, Cu/TiO and Cu/ZrO catalysts were prepared by strong electrostatic adsorption (SEA) and employed in the methanol ODH. All catalysts showed metal species homogenously distributed over the metal support and metal weight fractions up to 3.86% Ag and 7.96% Cu after sequential SEA steps. The silica-supported catalysts revealed the best performance in methanol ODH with the highest formaldehyde selectivities and stable conversions after seven hours time-on-stream. For these catalysts, the performance of silver and copper species in methanol ODH was further studied and compared close to industrial operating conditions. At low methanol feed concentrations, the Ag/SiO catalyst revealed a superior performance while at higher methanol feed fractions, the Cu/SiO catalyst showed improved performance and higher formaldehyde yields.
