Abstract

Abstract:

Owing to the oxidation ability of metal free catalysts is not as good as that of metal oxides, metal free catalytic systems such as carbon based and boron based catalysts have unique advantages for oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. Through the modification of heteroatoms such as nitrogen and phosphorus, the surface environment of metal free catalysts can be adjusted to further improve their catalytic activity. In this paper, the application of low-cost environmental friendly metal-free propane dehydrogenation catalysts such as carbon based and boron based catalysts, and the technology frontier of conversion of propane to propylene are reviewed. The mechanism of propane oxidative dehydrogenation of ordered mesoporous carbon materials, nano-carbon materials (nanofibers, graphene, carbon nanodiamonds, etc.) and hexagonal boron nitride materials are described and the improvement of their catalytic activities by heteroatom modification. The future direction and the development of new materials for propane dehydrogenation are also prospected.

Key words: metal-free, oxidative dehydrogenation, light alkene, carbon-based catalyst, boron-based catalyst
