Abstract

The preparation of porous materials by the simple and low-cost methods is one of the hot topics in materials science. Here, the porous carbon-incorporated BN (P-CBN) was synthesized from the low-cost flour by a fermentation combined with freeze-drying technology and ammonolysis. P-CBN-x samples not only maintain the pores of the fermented dough, but also produce abundant oxygen-containing boron species (B-OH, O-O and B-O). Due to the unique structural advantages, P-CBN-x catalysts exhibit remarkably better catalytic performance than bulk BN for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) to produce olefins. Attractively, P-CBN-23 obtains high C3H8 conversion of 62.1% and olefin yield of 42.7%. In-situ DRIFTS experiments and DFT calculations demonstrate the B-OO-B species in P-CBN-x framework is the most active species for the C3H8 activation and the B-O…O-B species can be readily regenerated by O2, thus promoting the conversion of propane to olefin.
