Catalytic pyrolysis of biomass is a promising method to convert biomass feedstock into high-
value products. However, coke formation on catalysts causes the severe deactivation and …

Tandem catalysis couples multiple reactions and promises to improve chemical processing,
but precise spatiotemporal control over reactive intermediates remains elusive. We used …

Propylene production through propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is endothermic, and high
temperatures required to achieve acceptable propane conversions lead to low selectivity …

An overview of the catalytic properties of intermetallic compounds has been made to provide
a comprehensive understanding regarding (1) what intermetallic catalysts can do,(2) their …

Pt-based catalysts are widely used in propane dehydrogenation to meet the dramatically
increased demand of propylene from an on-purpose catalytic process. Although the process …

Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) exhibits unique structural features accompanied by
appropriate changes in the electronic structures. These electronically and geometrically …

Recent research has found that dealuminated zeolite BEA (DeAlBEA) is an attractive
support for the dispersion of Pt and PtSn species that serve as catalysts for propane …

Co-based catalysts are promising alternatives to replace Pt-and Cr-based catalysts for
propane dehydrogenation (PDH) in view of the catalytic activity for C–H bond activation, low …

Density functional theory calculations have been performed to investigate the effect of Sn on
the catalytic activity and selectivity of Pt catalyst in propane dehydrogenation. Five models …

Catalyst deactivation by coking is one major problem for propane dehydrogenation (PDH).
To develop catalysts with high resistance to coke, the analysis of coke becomes essential. In …
