CoS-1 is a cobalt zeolite catalyst that boosts propylene production efficiently and stably, challenging platinum-based alternatives.

Propane dehydrogenation is an important industrial method for producing propylene without depending on oil. However, most current processes still depend heavily on precious-metal catalysts like those made with platinum. Finding efficient alternatives that use more common, earth-abundant metals has proven difficult.
