3️⃣ Why it matters?
Keeping catalysts in their best working state for longer boosts efficiency, reduces waste, and saves #energy. Showing that a simple co-reactant like water can stabilize these states could influence catalyst design across many industrial reactions.

2️⃣ What’s new?
The authors find that the most selective state is a dynamic, reversible Co₃O₄ structure that normally collapses into a less selective phase due to mobile vacancies. Water slows these vacancies, stabilizing the optimal—but unstable—state.

1️⃣ What’s the paper about?
It shows that a #catalyst for turning 2-propanol into acetone works best in a fragile “in-between” state. Using advanced microscopy and spectroscopy, the study reveals how adding water helps keep the catalyst in this highly selective state.

3️⃣Why does it matter?
Better reaction #models mean better, cleaner, and more efficient chemical reactors. This approach saves time, cuts costs, improves accuracy, and could help industries design greener processes and scale up new technologies more reliably.

2️⃣What’s new?
The study combines profile reactors, which capture many reaction conditions at once, with an adaptive algorithm that chooses the most useful next experiment. This makes model building quicker, more accurate, and less dependent on trial-and-error.

1️⃣What’s the paper about?
It shows a new way to understand how chemical reactions work inside #reactors. Instead of many slow experiments, it uses a reactor that gives a full “profile” of data plus smart #algorithms to build better reaction models faster.
