Single-atom Pt in intermetallics as an ultrastable and selective catalyst for propane dehydrogenation

Propylene production via propane dehydrogenation demands a highly stable catalyst that works without deactivation even at high temperatures. Here, the authors show that single-atom Pt included in thermally stable intermetallic PtGa works as an active and selective catalyst for propane dehydrogenatio...
