“…Thus far, the most effective catalysts reported for one-step CO 2 -ODHP via a Mars–van Krevelen (MvK) redox mechanism involving the lattice oxygen principally focus on the supported metal oxides (e.g., CrO x , Ga 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , MoO 3 , and In 2 O 3 ) and solid solutions (e.g., Zn-Zr and Ce-Zr) owing to the presence of multivalence states and oxygen storage/release capacity, respectively. − When the mechanism of the two-step coupling process is taken into account to design a catalyst, the active component toward CO 2 adsorption and activation should be introduced, generally referring to those metallic catalysts composed of both precious (Ru, Pt, and Pd) and nonprecious metals (Fe, Co, or Ni). ,,,− These metallic active sites, however, could concurrently promote the activation and cleavage of C–C bonds in propane in addition to the activation of CO bonds in CO 2 , resulting in coke deposition and a low yield of propylene due to the underlying side reactions of DRP, deep dehydrogenation, and cracking. Thus, it is of paramount importance to explore new catalytically active substances enabling the selective activation of C–H and CO bonds together with the inhibited cleavage of C–C bonds.…”
