The catalytic reduction of CO 2 by propane may occur via dry reforming to produce syngas (CO + H 2 ) or oxidative dehydrogenation to yield propylene. Utilizing propane and CO 2 as coreactants presents several advantages over conventional methane dry reforming or direct propane dehydrogenation, including lower operating temperatures and less coke formation. Thus, it is of great interest to identify catalytic systems that can either effectively break the CC bond to generate syngas or selectively break CH bonds to produce propylene. In this study, several precious and nonprecious bimetallic catalysts supported on reducible CeO 2 were investigated using flow reactor studies at 823 K to identify selective catalysts for CO 2 ‐assisted reforming and dehydrogenation of propane.
