The development of efficient and sustainable catalytic processes is a key challenge in modern chemical engineering. As global demand for chemical building blocks such as propylene continues to grow, new technologies are needed to optimize their production. One promising method to produce propylene is the direct dehydrogenation of propane (PDH). However conventional heterogeneous platinum-based catalysts used in industrial scale PDH suffer from rapid deactivation due to coke formation, necessitating frequent regeneration and reducing overall process and cost efficiency.
