A nanofibrous catalyst for in the electrolyzer and methods of making the catalyst. The catalysts are composed of highly porous transition metal carbonitrides, metal oxides or perovskites derived from the metal-organic frameworks and integrated into a 3D porous nano-network electrode architecture. The catalysts are low-cost, highly active toward OER, with excellent conductivity yet resistant to the oxidation under high potential operable under both acidic and alkaline environments.

Oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts including mixed oxides of Mo, V, Nb, Te, and optionally a promoter may be dissolved in aqueous solutions of oxalic acid. This permits the removal of catalyst and catalyst residues from reactors for the oxidative dehydrogenation of paraffins and particularly ethane.

A process for producing an eggshell catalyst, comprising the coating of the outer surface of a geometric shaped support body with a catalytically active multielement oxide or a powder P, wherein the powder P, after being coated, is converted by thermal treatment to a catalytically active multielement oxide, and one or more liquid binders, wherein the coating is conducted in a horizontal mixer and the Froude number during the coating in the horizontal mixer is from 0.0160 to 0.1200.
