Structure-Sensitive Pathway Branching of Reaction Intermediates Drives Catalyst Deactivation in Cycloalkane Dehydrogenation

Elucidating how the surface structure alters reaction networks during cycloalkane dehydrogenation remains critical for understanding and mitigating catalyst deactivation. Here, we show that early deactivation of Pt catalysts in cycloalkane dehydrogenation is linked to structure-sensitive pathway branching of a partia...
