The dehydrogenation of unactivated alkanes is an important transformation both in industrial and biological systems. Recent efforts towards this reaction have revolved around high temperature, ...

An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of ...

The superior catalytic performance of ZrO 2 in catalytic propane dehydrogenation is attributed to be the unsaturated coordination zirconium (Zr cus) near the oxygen vacancy. However, the calculations ...

Propylene is a vital petrochemical raw material, trailing only behind ethylene in significance. With demand continuously on the rise, there is a pressing need to explore alternative production methods ...

Pt 1 Cu 30 cluster catalysts with each Pt atom coordinated to nine Cu atoms and coated with a thin carbon layer, were prepared using a surface engineering strategy, which demonstrated exceptional ...
