Propylene, a crucial component for the chemical industry, is facing challenges in its traditional oil-based cracking processes due to changes in the global energy situation. The nonoxidative propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technique has emerged as a promising alternative, offering distinct price advantages. However, the thermally induced deactivation remains a significant issue. This review explores strategies to enhance catalytic stability and recyclability, including active site regulation, metal-support interaction enhancement, and support modification, providing insights into the current status and future prospects of catalyst development.
Propylene is one of the most important building blocks for the chemical industry. Traditional propylene production, which is based on oil-based cracking processes, is being challenged by the drastic changes in the global energy situation. The nonoxidative propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technique has emerged as a high-value-rising and promising alternative to traditional propylene production techniques due to the distinct price variance between propane and propylene. Although this technique has been commercialized for decades, thermally induced deactivation is still a big problem. Substantial progress has been made to inhibit the deactivation of propane dehydrogenation catalysts. In this review, we briefly introduce the mechanism of catalytic deactivation, including coke deposition and sintering of active compounds. The design strategies of PDH catalysts, focused on improving the catalytic stability and recyclability, are highlighted from the aspects of active site regulation, metal-support interaction enhancement, and support modification. Finally, the current status and prospects of future catalyst development are also discussed.
