Abstract

The catalytic activity of NiV2Ox/Al2O3 for propane dehydrogenation (PDH) at 500 degrees C was observed to be 2-5 times higher than those of their monometallic counterparts, primarily attributed to the synergistic effect of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) and VOx. This synergy was concluded to promote not only the desorption of propylene but also the generation and desorption of H2, significantly improving the catalytic performance.
