Fund Project: The project was supported by the State Key Program of National Natural Science Foundation of China (21733002), National Key Research and Development Project (2021YFA1500301), National Science Foundation for Young Scientists of China (22302030) and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2023M730467).

Boron-containing zeolites can catalyze the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) to produce propylene. Enhancing the quantity of active boron-oxygen species and regulating the positioning of these species within the zeolite are the main challenges in developing efficient boron-based catalysts. In this study, a boron-containing zeolite catalyst with exposed (010) crystal facets, referred to as the MFI-type boron-containing zeolite (BMFI), was synthesized using a urea-assisted hydrothermal method. The research indicates that the addition of an appropriate amount of urea can regulate the morphology of the zeolite, with its short-axis flake-like structure enhancing the accessibility of active boron sites and anchoring a higher content of active boron-oxygen species through hydrogen bonding, which significantly improves the ODHP activity and olefin selectivity of the catalyst. The propane conversion rate reached 20%, with a propylene selectivity of 62.3% and a total olefin selectivity of 81.3% at 520 ℃. Compared to the ellipsoidal boron-containing catalyst formed without urea, the flake-like BMFI catalyst exhibited nearly a 20-fold increase in the reaction rate of propane. The flake-like BMFI possesses a greater number of framework tetrahedrally coordinated boron (B[4]) and defective boron species (B[3]^a and B[3]^b), and active boron structural evolution occurred during the reaction process, with B[3]^a and B[3]^b being the active sites for the catalytic reaction. This study provides a reference for the structural design and regulation of boron-based catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes.
