Description

He and colleagues review in 2024 progress toward making propylene oxide by reacting propene directly with molecular oxygen. That route is cheap, clean, and simple, but needs better catalysts. The review covers conventional nanoparticle catalysts based on silver, copper, and other metals. It explains how supports, electron effects, and crystal faces steer the reaction.

It then turns to single-atom catalysts using molybdenum, copper, and cobalt, and how they are made and checked. Mechanism studies run through both halves. The authors aim to guide designs that could finally bring this reaction into industrial use.
