title: New insights into the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane on borate-modified nanodiamond.
abstract: For the first time, we give a fundamental understanding of the effect of borate-modified nanodiamond on propane oxidative dehydrogenation reaction. Upon increasing the loading amount of borate on the carbon surface, the propene selectivity shows a volcanic curve. The adsorption sites of borate at different loading amounts are thoroughly considered.
