Abstract Propane dehydrogenation (PDH) to propene is an important alternative to oil-based cracking processes, to produce this industrially important platform chemical 1,2 . The commercial PDH technologies utilizing Cr-containing (refs. 3,4 ) or Pt-containing (refs. 5–8 ) catalysts suffer from the t...
