| Abstract | The transformation of cheap and abundant light alkanes (from natural gas) could have far-reaching implications on the chemical and energy sectors yet remains a formidable challenge due to the lack of efficient catalysts/catalytic systems. While various processes for alkane transformation to a host of petrochemical products have been extensively studied during the past decades, only steam methane reforming, propane dehydrogenation, and steam ethane noncatalytic cracking are produced at large-scal |
