The study investigates the catalytic performance of In₂O₃-Ga₂O₃ mixed oxide for propane dehydrogenation (PDH). It reveals that the intrinsic activity of In₂O₃-Ga₂O₃ catalyst is higher than In₂O₃-Al₂O₃and Ga₂O₃-Al₂O₃ system. The initial well-dispersed In₂O₃ species at the surface is proposed to be active site for propane converting to propylene.
