Styrene is an important commodity chemical that is highly energy and CO 2  intensive to produce. We report a redox oxidative dehydrogenation (redox-ODH) strategy to efficiently produce styrene. Facilitated by a multifunctional (Ca/Mn) 1− x  O@KFeO 2  core-shell redox catalyst which acts as (i) a heterogeneous catalyst, (ii) an oxygen separation agent, and (iii) a selective hydrogen combustion material, redox-ODH auto-thermally converts ethylbenzene to styrene with up to 97% single-pass conversion and >94% selectivity. This represents a 72% yield increase compared to commercial dehydrogenation on a relative basis, leading to 82% energy savings and 79% CO 2  emission reduction. The redox catalyst is composed of a catalytically active KFeO 2  shell and a (Ca/Mn) 1− x  O core for reversible lattice oxygen storage and donation. The lattice oxygen donation from (Ca/Mn) 1− x  O sacrificially stabilizes Fe 3+  in the shell to maintain high catalytic activity and coke resistance. From a practical standpoint, the redox catalyst exhibits excellent long-term performance under industrially compatible conditions.
