Hunting for the active site: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes are investigated as an adsorbent for propane and propylene in the view of catalytic application in the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane. Support by XPS and TPD analyses gives an indication of a quantitative description of the carbon surface under reaction conditions (see picture).
