A tailored multi-functional catalyst for ultra-efficient styrene production under a cyclic redox scheme

Styrene is an important commodity chemical that is highly energy and CO2 intensive to produce. Here, authors report a redox-oxidative dehydrogenation scheme and a tailored core-shell redox catalyst to convert ethylbenzene to styrene with up to 91.4% single-pass yield and 82% energy savings.
