Propylene is an important building block for enormous petrochemicals including
polypropylene, propylene oxide, acrylonitrile and so forth. Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) …

Isolated atoms featuring unique reactivity are at the heart of enzymatic and homogeneous
catalysts. In contrast, although the concept has long existed, single-atom heterogeneous …

Single-atom catalysts with uniform metal active sites show potential for selectivity control.
However, their application to high-temperature propane dehydrogenation remains …

Metal species with different size (single atoms, nanoclusters, and nanoparticles) show
different catalytic behavior for various heterogeneous catalytic reactions. It has been shown …

Noble-metal alloys are widely used as heterogeneous catalysts. However, due to the
existence of scaling properties of adsorption energies on transition metal surfaces, the …

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

The methanol-to-aromatics (MTA) process is regarded as a promising route to produce
aromatic commodities through non-petroleum carbon resources, such as biomass, waste …

The direct formation of propene from propane is a well-established commercial process,
which on the basis of energy consumption, is environmentally preferred to the current large …

Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is a commercial propylene production technology that has
received much attention, but high reaction temperatures result in a decrease of propylene …
