High-entropy-alloy catalyst boosts propane dehydrogenation efficiency

A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently developed a Pt-based high-entropy-alloy (HEA) catalyst that significantly enhances the efficiency of propane dehydrogenation (PDH), a critical process for producing propylene, which is a major chemical building block. The study was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
