Light olefins are important feedstocks and platform molecules for the chemical industry.
Their synthesis has been a research priority in both academia and industry. There are many …

The selective conversion of light alkanes (C2–C6 saturated hydrocarbons) to the
corresponding alkene is an appealing strategy for the petrochemical industry in view of the …

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 …

As an atom-efficient strategy for the large-scale interconversion of olefins, heterogeneously
catalysed olefin metathesis sees commercial applications in the petrochemical, polymer and …

Nonoxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes has seen a renewed interest in recent years.
While PtGa systems appear among the most efficient catalyst for this reaction and are now …

Light alkenes are the key building blocks in the chemical industry. As a propene on-purpose
production technology, propane dehydrogenation has drawn particular attention due to the …

Surface metal hydrides (M–H) are ubiquitous in heterogeneous catalytic reactions, while the
detailed characterizations are frequently hindered by their high reactivity/low concentration …

In heterogeneous catalysis, olefin oligomerization is typically performed on immobilized
transition metal ions, such as Ni2+ and Cr3+. Here we report that silica-supported, single …

The CrO x-based catalysts supported on Zn-modified alumina were prepared for propane
dehydrogenation. The CrO x/Zn-Al 2 O 3 catalysts possess uniform foamed pores with high …

A crucial consideration for supported heterogeneous catalysts is the nonuniformity of the
active sites, particularly for supported organometallic catalysts. Standard spectroscopic …
