From molecular hydrogen to reactive hydrogen: activation pathways and species variation in thermal catalytic heterogeneous hydrogenation The activation of molecular hydrogen (H2) has long represented the central “black-box” challenge in heterogeneous hydrogenation catalysis. The microscopic processes underlying this step remain elusive, largely because of the inherent limitations of characterization techniques, so we have historically fragmented our https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2026/cs/d5cs00680e
