Dynamic evolution of active sites and deposited coke of PtZn bimetallic catalysts for enhanced propane dehydrogenationOur group developed a series of PtZn bimetallic catalysts via a combined co-impregnation and temperature-programmed reduction strategy. Through complementary ex-situ and in-situ characterization techniques, we elucidated the dynamic evolution of active sites and coke deposition behavior. By correlating the structural evolution of active centers with coke formation/removal processes, we revealed their impact on propane dehydrogenation performance, providing critical theoretical insights for the rational design of high-efficiency Pt-based dehydrogenation catalysts.
