Subnanometer cobalt oxide clusters as selective low temperature oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts

Subnanometer cobalt oxide clusters as selective low temperature oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts, Published online: 27 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08819-5

Current oxidative dehydrogenation processes are based on petroleum cracking that is indirect, environmentally unfriendly, and energy intensive. Here, the authors discover that subnanometer sized cobalt oxide clusters are active for oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane at lower temperatures than reported catalysts.
