Abstract:
The oxidative dehydrogenation of propane using CO2 (CO2 -ODP) is a promising technique for realizing high-yield propylene production and CO2 usage. Developing a highly efficient catalyst for CO2 -ODP is essential and beneficial to the chemical industry and for realizing net-zero emissions. Many studies have investigated metal oxide-based catalysts, revealing that rapid deactivation and low selectivity remain limiting factors for their industrial applications. In recent years, metallic nanoparticle catalysts have become increasingly attractive due to their unique properties. Therefore, we summarize the performance of metal-based catalysts in CO2 -ODP reactions by considering catalyst design concepts, different mechanisms in the reaction process, and the role of CO2 .

Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
