Highly Efficient Metal Sulfide Catalysts for Selective Dehydrogenation of Isobutane to Isobutene

Abstract

Metal sulfide catalysts were highly efficient in the activation of C–H bond for isobutane dehydrogenation, and the dehydrogenation performance was better than that of the commercial catalysts Cr2O3/Al2O3 and Pt–Sn/Al2O3, providing a class of environmentally friendly and economical alternative catalysts for industrial application.
