  • Method of preparing unsaturated hydrocarbons by black body photocatalytic conversion of saturated hydrocarbon
    Patent number: 11851401
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of preparing unsaturated hydrocarbons by black body photocatalytic (thermal radiative catalytic) conversion of saturated hydrocarbons. In this method, a saturated hydrocarbon reaction gas is introduced into a reaction furnace, and the saturated hydrocarbon is catalyzed to convert under heating and illumination conditions to prepare the unsaturated hydrocarbons. The photocatalysis is combined to the conventional thermal catalysis to improve the catalytic performance, accelerate the reaction speed, increase the conversion rate, and/or improve the selectivity of the catalytic reaction.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 26, 2023
    Assignees: THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, SHENZHEN, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
