Abstract
The olefins industry is a cornerstone of the global chemical industry and plays a key role in the economy [ 1]. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is an on-purpose technology for propylene synthesis. Heterogeneous commercial catalysts containing Pt or CrOx, although widely used, are hampered by high cost, contamination or severe deactivation due to carbon deposition. Supported metal oxides have been shown to be active for C–H activation but have shown commercially unattractive performance [ 2]. Encouraged by the demands for environmental sustainability, both industry and academia are searching for environmentally friendly PDH catalysts related to the sustainable development of the olefin and chemical industries [ 3–9].Keywords
