Abstract

Propylene is a significant basic material for petrochemicals such as polypropylene, propylene oxide, etc. With abundant propane supply from shale gas, propane dehydrogenation (PDH) becomes extensively attractive as an on-purpose propylene production route in recent years. Nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) nanopolyhedra supported cobalt catalysts were synthesized in one-step of ZIF-67 pyrolysis and investigated further in PDH. XPS, TEM and N 2 adsorption-desorption were used to study the influence of carbonization temperature on as-prepared NC supported cobalt catalysts. The temperature is found to affect the cobalt phase and nitrogen species of the catalysts. And the positive correlation was established between Co 0 proportion and space time yield of propylene, indicating that the modulation of carbonization temperature could be important for catalytic performance.
