Abstract:

Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) is a key process to address the supply-demand imbalance of propylene. Commercial PtSn/Al₂O₃ and CrO_x/Al₂O₃ catalysts, however, face limitations due to high cost and environmental concerns, motivating the development of sustainable, non-noble metal alternatives. Recent studies reveal that atomically tailored single-metal oxides, bimetallic oxides, and non-noble metal alloys can achieve comparable or even superior activity and selectivity through precise control over geometric structures, electronic states, and interfacial synergy. This review systematically summarizes the rational design strategies, key structure-performance relationships, and mechanistic insights underlying these catalysts. Emphasis is placed on the role of atomic-level active site engineering and synergistic dual-metal interactions in enhancing activity, selectivity, and stability. Looking forward, multi-scale collaborative design, advanced in situ/operando characterization, and machine-learning-assisted high-throughput screening are identified as promising approaches to accelerate the development and industrial deployment of high-performance non-noble metal-based PDH catalysts. This review aims to provide a comprehensive perspective to guide the design of efficient, stable and sustainable PDH catalysts.

Noble Gases

Noble Gases

The elements in group 18 are noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon). They earned the name “noble” because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false.

Alkali Metals

Alkali Metals

Group 1 elements are soft and shiny metallic solids. They are malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. The melting points of the alkali metals are unusually low for metals and decrease going down the group, while the density increases going down the group with the exception of potassium (Table 1).

Metallic Solids

Metallic Solids

Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Atomic Radii and Effective Nuclear Charge

Atomic Radii and Effective Nuclear Charge

The elements in groups of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical behavior. This similarity occurs because the members of a group have the same number and distribution of electrons in their valence shells.

Conformations of Ethane and Propane

Conformations of Ethane and Propane

In an organic molecule, free rotation about the carbon-carbon single bond results in energetically different conformers of the molecule. Due to this rotation, called the internal rotation, ethane has two major conformations — staggered and eclipsed.
Staggered conformation is a low energy and more stable conformation with the C-H bonds on the front carbon placed at 60°dihedral angles relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon, leading to a reduced torsional strain. In staggered...

Metal-Ligand Bonds

Metal-Ligand Bonds

The hemoglobin in the blood, the chlorophyll in green plants, vitamin B-12, and the catalyst used in the manufacture of polyethylene all contain coordination compounds. Ions of the metals, especially the transition metals, are likely to form complexes.
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
