This study successfully improved the catalytic activity of a zeolitic octahedral metal oxide by incorporating a single zinc species into its micropore. The zinc incorporation achieved a high ethane conversion rate and ethylene selectivity. Mechanism study showed that the isolated zinc site played a crucial role in activating oxygen and ethane, as well as stabilizing intermediates and transition states.
Zeolitic octahedral metal oxides possess both redox properties and microporosity, making them highly active for catalysis. Tuning the property of micropore by incorporating transition metal ion in the pore improves the catalytic activity greatly. In this study, single Zn species was incorporated into a micropore of a zeolitic octahedral metal oxide based on vanadomolybdate. Structural characterization demonstrated that the crystalline structure remained unchanged, and the micropores remained unblocked in the presence of Zn. Furthermore, this incorporation of Zn improved the catalytic activity of ethane oxidative dehydrogenation, achieving a 50 % of ethane conversion and 90% of selectivity. The yield of ethylene remained consistently at 45 % over 35 h, demonstrating the high stability of the catalyst. Mechanism study revealed that the isolated Zn site not only activated both O2 and ethane, but also stabilized intermediates and transition states, leading to an increase in catalyst activity.
