A nanodiamond/CNT–SiC monolith as a novel metal free catalyst for ethylbenzene direct dehydrogenation to styrene†
Abstract
A novel nanodiamond/CNT–SiC monolith catalyst has been prepared by a facile two-step approach. The as-synthesized monolith afforded high activity and stability for ethylbenzene direct dehydrogenation to styrene, showing its potential application as a metal free catalyst in gaseous catalytic reactions.
