Optimizing the structure of Pt-based bimetallic catalysts is of utmost importance toward improving the propane dehydrogenation performance. It is challenging to precisely synthesize uniform PtFe alloy nanoparticles without excess unalloyed Fe species on the support as these Fe species lead to low propylene selectivity, coke deposition, and poor stability. Herein, we report an effective strategy to optimize the structure of PtFe bimetallic catalysts with minimal coke and high turnover frequency (8.2 s-1). For the optimized catalyst, 1Pt3Fe@S-1, most Fe species is in the framework of the zeolite S-1, which significantly suppresses the formation of coke. In addition, the extra-framework Fe and Pt species encapsulated in the channel of zeolite form uniform PtFe alloy nanoparticles, which significantly improves the C3H6 selectivity, catalytic stability, and recycling performance. In conclusion, these findings provide insights into the structure-performance relationship of PtFe bimetallic catalysts and shall be beneficial to future design and optimization of similar catalytic materials.
