The CO2 oxidative dehydrogenation reaction has the potential to play a role in CO2-utilizing catalytic reactions. Transition metal carbides, especially MoxCy, are promising catalysts for this reaction. The addition of promoters can significantly influence the crystal structure and acid-base characteristics of the carbide system, leading to enhanced activity, stability, and selectivity of the catalyst.
The CO2 oxidative dehydrogenation reaction has the potential to play a role in the advancement of CO2-utilizing catalytic reactions, co-activating CO2 and short-chained alkanes. Transition metal carbides are promising catalysts for this reaction, in particular MoxCy, however catalytic stability is a major challenge. In this study, the addition of a promoter (Fe, K, Ni or Pt) has shown to significantly influence the crystal structure of the carbide system as well as the acid-base characteristics. K promotion decreased the number of acid sites, limiting ethane activation and the removal of the oxygen surface species formed in CO2 activation. The catalysts deactivate due to oxidation to MoOx. Fe decreased the initial activity, but it increased the stability of the oxygen surface species, which enhanced the stability of the catalyst and ethylene selectivity to outperform the unpromoted sample. Oxidation of the carbide and carbon deposition during the reaction could not be prevented. Ni promotion increases the number of basic sites, enhancing the CO2 activation, shown by the highest activity obtained during the reverse water-gas-shift experiments. At higher CO2 content in the feed the dry-reforming reaction becomes the dominant reaction pathway. Pt suppressed the dry-reforming reaction, but instead increased the direct dehydrogenation activity, accompanied by a high degree of carbon deposition. No oxidation to MoOx was observed at a stoichiometric CO2 to C2H6 feed ratio.
