Propane Dehydrogenation Catalyzed by Pt Clusters (Pt2–Pt6) in Gas Phase and Supported on g-C3N4 and γ-Al2O3: A Theoretical Study
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Density functional theory (DFT) investigations and microkinetic analyses were conducted to explore the propane dehydrogenation (PDH) process catalyzed by small platinum clusters (Pt 2 –Pt 6 ). γ-Al 2 O 3 and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) were considered as support materials to evaluate their influence on the catalytic performance. Among the studied clusters, Pt 5 demonstrated superior PDH activity, selectivity, and stability. Notably, the presence of supports significantly enhanced the selectivity of the reaction, with the Pt 5 /g-C 3 N 4 system exhibiting the most favorable performance.
