Conversion of propane or butanes from natural/shale gas into propene or butenes, which
are indispensable for the synthesis of commodity chemicals, is an important environmentally …

In the past several decades, light alkane dehydrogenation to mono-olefins, especially
propane dehydrogenation to propylene has gained widespread attention and much …

Strong metal support interaction between Ni and γ-Al 2 O 3, resulted from the excessive
hydroxyl groups on the Al 2 O 3 support, has restricted Ni utilization in the traditional Ni/Al 2 …

Searching for low-cost, environmentally friendly, and highly active catalysts for C–H bond
activation in propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction remains a great challenge. Herein …

Nickel has been considered a promising nonprecious metal for propane dehydrogenation
(PDH) because of its appealing ability to activate alkane molecules; however, synthesis of …

α-Ga2O3, β-Ga2O3, and γ-Ga2O3 as well as the silica-supported catalysts γ-Ga2O3/SiO2, β-
Ga2O3/SiO2, and Ga (NO3) 3-derived Ga/SiO2 were prepared, characterized, and …

In this work, we report a synthesis approach for catalyst preparation using shape-controlled
Al2O3 supports with enriched quantities of coordinatively unsaturated Al3+ centers. These …

High temperature and a reducing atmosphere are characteristic of propane
dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction. Under such condition, the real surface structure of …

Heterogeneous catalysts are the key components in industrial chemical transformations.
Metal oxides are particularly appealing as catalysts owing to their inherent Lewis acid–base …

We report herein the preparation, characterization, and catalytic performance of a series of
heterogeneous catalysts featuring highly dispersed zinc sites on zeolitic SSZ-13 and ZSM-5 …
