Joint experimental and theoretical studies were carried to develop structure-property relationships that control the catalytic activity/selectivity for the oxidative and non-oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane (a jet fuel surrogate) over CoOx and Pt nanoparticles. We outline the experimental results and present detailed theoretical results to elucidate the controlling catalytic mechanisms.
