Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) has great potential to meet the increasing global demand for propylene, but widely used Pt-based catalysts usually suffer from short-term stability and unsatisfactory propylene selectivity. Herein, we develop a ligand-protected direct hydrogen reduction method encapsulating subnanometer bimetallic Pt-Zn clusters inside silicalite-1 (S-1) zeolite. The introduction of Zn species significantly improved Pt gave superhigh selectivity 99.3 % with weight hourly space...

The development of sustainable and environmentally friendly techniques for synthesizing zeolites has attracted much attention, as the use organic templates solvents in hydrothermal synthesis is a major obstacle realizing green ways. Recently, introduction organotemplate-free method allowed avoiding templates, but water solvent was still required; solvent-free routes on other hand beared potential to significantly reduce amount polluted wastewater, were present. In this work, we have...

Compared with conventional hydrothermal synthesis, this work not...
Impregnation is the most commonly used approach to prepare supported metal catalysts in industry. However, this method suffers from formation of large particles with uneven dispersion, poor thermal stability, and thus unsatisfied catalytic performance. Here, we demonstrate that self-pillared MFI zeolite (silicalite-1 ZSM-5) nanosheets larger surface area abundant Si–OH groups are ideal supports immobilize ultrasmall monometallic (e.g., Rh Ru) various bimetallic clusters via simple incipient...
Abstract Ag/γ-Al 2 O 3 is widely used for catalyzing various reactions, and its performance depends on the valence state, morphology dispersion of Ag species. However, detailed anchoring mechanism species γ-Al remains largely unknown. Herein, we reveal that terminal hydroxyls are responsible The abundant existed nanosized can lead to single-atom silver dispersion, thereby resulting in markedly enhanced than cluster microsized . Density-functional-theory calculations confirm atom mainly...
Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) reaction has emerged as one of the most promising propylene production routes due to its high selectivity for and good economic benefits. However, commercial PDH processes usually rely on expensive platinum-based poisonous chromium oxide based catalysts. The exploration cost-effective ecofriendly catalysts with excellent catalytic activity, selectivity, stability is great significance yet remains challenging. Here, we discovered a new active center, i.e., an...
