Abstract

Propane dehydrogenation(PDH) to propylene is an important technological pathway for increasing the production of the vital chemical propylene.The PDH reaction,being a structure-insensitive process,requires only a single metal or metal-oxygen site for C—H activation to occur.However,the competing C—C activation reaction requires aggregation state metal or oxide sites to take place.Therefore,the development strategy of PDH catalysts often involves constructing sub-nanometer dehydrogenation active centers through confinement effects or strong metal-support interactions.In recent years,utilizing the confinement effect of zeolite channels to construct stable sub-nanometer-sized active sites has become a research hotspot in PDH field.The metal species encapsulated in zeolites were firstly systematically classified,synthesis strategies were introduced,and qualitative and quantitative methods for characterizing the entry of metal species into the micropores of zeolites were discussed.Then,the latest synthetic research progress of zeolite-encapsulated metal catalysts was summarized,including precious and non-precious metal catalysts for propane dehydrogenation reaction.Meanwhile,catalytic mechanisms and structure-function relationships were also discussed.Finally,the limitations and future development directions of zeolite-encapsulated metal catalysts in the propane dehydrogenation process were proposed to provide new insights for the preparation of metal-loaded zeolite propane dehydrogenation catalysts.
