Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with carbon dioxide over iron-nickel nano-alloys supported on metal oxide overlayers by Raseale, Shaine

“…Promoters such as Fe-based oxides have been studied to enhance the CO2-activation functionality and stability of the oxides [5]. A Density Functional Theory (DFT) study suggested that bimetallic alloys can have superior activity for CO2-activation compared to their monometallic counterparts [16]. …”
