A supported core-shell bimetallic catalyst with high selectivity for propane dehydrogenation, containing platinum (Pt) as active species, 3d transition metals (Fe, Co and Ni) as promoters and SBA-15 as support. The addition of 3d metals and the formation of Pt3d alloys in subsurface result in a core-shell bimetallic catalyst which promotes the propene selectivity by decreasing the d-band center of surface Pt atoms and facilitating the desorption of propene on Pt. In another aspect, the reduced usage of Pt is achieved with the addition of 3d transition metals as well as the increased utilization of Pt atoms. The catalyst can be effectively used as a catalyst for the preparation of propene by propane dehydrogenation and 85% of propene selectivity can be achieved in propane dehydrogenation.
