Current status and perspectives in oxidative, non-oxidative and CO2-mediated dehydrogenation of propane and isobutane over metal oxide catalysts

Tatiana Otroshchenko et al.

Summary: This article critically analyzes recent developments in the non-oxidative, oxidative, and CO2-mediated dehydrogenation of propane and isobutane to the corresponding olefins over metal oxide catalysts, focusing on application potential, structure-activity-selectivity relationships, and reaction-engineering aspects. The research provides insights for further exploration of inexpensive and environmentally friendly catalysts with industrially relevant performance, as well as guidance on catalyst preparation and characterization for unambiguous comparison in different studies.
