Description
Summary:. This review focuses on the importance of coupling of catalytic reactions which involves dehydrogenation and hydrogenation simultaneously and the study of catalytic materials that are designed, adopted and/or modified for these reactions. The special features of these reactions are minimization of H 2 utilization and reduction in production cost. Structural and textural properties also play a decisive role in this kind of coupled reactions. This particular review although not comprehensive discusses the significant progress made in the area of coupled reactions and also helps future researchers or engineers to find out the improvements required in areas such as advancements in catalytic material preparation, design of the new reactors and the application of new technologies. ᅟ Coupling of dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions are advantageous not only in eliminating the use of external hydrogen but also helps in maintaining good thermal balance between the two reactions apart from saving time and catalyst material.
