No coking : A Pt/WO 3 /Al‐ZrO x nanocomposite enables the efficient conversion of various hydrocarbons at a temperature as low as 150 °C (see figure, X =conversion) without deep cracking or coking problems. This novel catalyst might potentially be used for the production of high‐octane fuel with a low content of aromatics by converting n ‐alkanes into their multibranched isomers with excellent selectivity.
