Abstract:
Cobalt-based catalysts have emerged as promising substitutes for Pt- and Cr-based propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalysts. However, controlling the distribution of Co species and achieving stable active centers remains challenging. Here, we report that reaction-driven reconstruction of metallic cobalt (Co0) species within pure silica MFI zeolite (S-1) into CoOx clusters within silanol nests during PDH yields efficient and durable performance. Atomically dispersed CoOx clusters exhibit exceptional durability and high propylene space-time yield (STY), maintaining an ultrahigh propylene STY of 17.2 mmolC3H6 gcat−1 h−1 for over 260 h under industrially relevant conditions, surpassing previous cobalt-based PDH catalysts. Moreover, the catalyst operates stably at 520 °C for 170 h with near-equilibrium propane conversions. Comprehensive characterizations indicate the dynamic evolution process from the silanol nests effectively capturing and stabilizing Co0 species within S-1 zeolite, thereby promoting the dynamic formation of CoOx clusters during the PDH process. We also demonstrate that stable Co─O active centers formed by this unique anchoring strategy improve catalyst stability by suppressing coke formation and promoting efficient propane dehydrogenation. © 2025 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
