Figure Abstract

Caption

Ga2O3 species on Pt (111) act as a bridge to facilitate dehydrogenation. This involves the ionization of the propane molecule followed by smooth H spillover and subsequent H2 desorption. The electronic perturbation at the Pt-Ga2O3 interface induces higher-lying O 2p states, accompanied by a substantial density of states around the Fermi level. This leads to an exceptionally strong affinity for H and a robust ability for C-H scission.
