The design of catalysts capable of simultaneously achieving selective C–H bond scission of ethane and efficient CO 2 activation represents a key challenge in CO 2-ODHE. The findings are ...

The tandem reaction achieved by the synergistic effect of Zn-O-Zr sites and oxygen vacancies, the ethane C–H bond was selectively clipped over the Zn-O-Zr sites and the CO 2 C=O bonds was ...
