Mesoporous Co@MCM-41 catalyst for stable ethane dehydrogenation by Xiufang Wang, Yufeng Li, Wenda Yu, Yuebing Xu, Bing Liu, Xiaohao Liu

“…Various characterizations suggested that Co species were also dispersed in an atomical level in the MCM-41 zeolite with a reduction-resistant –Coδ+–Oδ-– structure, which, therefore, ensures its high selectivity to ethylene (∼100 %). Thanks to the mesoporous characteristic of the MCM-41, the as-synthesized Co@MCM-41 catalyst showed excellent stability than the widely reported microporous Co@MFI catalysts, which can be attributed to the reason that the mesoporous channels are not sensitive to coke deposition and still allow reactant and products to diffuse in and out easily, This work demonstrates the importance of the diffusion of a zeolite-based catalyst and promotes the application of Co-based catalyst for alkane dehydrogenation.…”
