Abstract

Oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes over boron nitride catalysts provides a new opportunity for efficient olefin production. Here, the authors discover in situ formed olefins can promote parent alkane conversion, and achieve activation of ethane by propane-derived olefins at a lower temperature.
