Molecular elucidating of an unusual growth mechanism for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in confined space

Coke-induced catalyst deactivation draws increasing concerns in industrially catalytic processes. Here the authors provide a strategy integrating advanced mass spectroscopy and isotope labeling to uncover a cage-passing molecular route of coking species in molecular sieve catalysts.
