제목 First-principles Design of Rh-based Alloy Catalysts for Selective Propane Dehydrogenation
초록 The recent shale gas boom has increased global demand for a commercial propane dehydrogenation (PDH) catalyst for efficient propylene production. The selectivity of the PDH catalyst has been one of the key issues of research for decades. Recent studies on PDH catalysis demonstrated that Rh-based alloys have comparable PDH activity and selectivity to the state-of-the-art Pt based catalyst. However, its high catalytic efficiency remains still elusive due to the lack of atomic level understanding on the complex PDH reaction network. Herein, Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulation and high throughput computations, we identified key PDH selectivity descriptors and searched potential Rh-based alloys. Deactivation mechanisms investigated among the possible elementary reaction steps of dehydrogenation and cracking in realistic PDH conditions. The constructed selectivity map successfully identifies 8 new alloy combinations as promising PDH catalysts among the 82 Rh-based alloy combinations. Our results will provide important insight into the design of a highly active and selective PDH catalyst which could go beyond the Pt-Sn catalyst.
