Using CO2 as the soft oxidant for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODE) is a potential advancement for ethylene production from ethane. However, the current ODE reaction is primarily operated at high temperatures (e.g., 873 K), and the development of alternative approaches for the ODE reacti...
