Synthesis of a CuBTC based on niobium oxide in the low-temperature Oxidative Dehydrogenation of propane

The current study discusses the properties of a hydrothermally formed niobium oxide supported on CuBTC MOF. The strategy of incipient wetness impregnation was employed to develop a promising catalyst for propane's oxidative dehydrogenation (ODHP). XRD, SEM, EDS, and BET were used to characterize the as-prepared catalyst. Additionally, XRD examination demonstrated the absence of niobium-specific peaks due to fine dispersion and a trace amount of niobium in the NbOx/CuBTC catalyst during calcination and a decrease in the specific surface area as determined by BET. Due to the presence of niobium, propylene synthesis increased from ۰.۹۸ % to ۴.۶۸ % at ۲۸۰ °C.
