Novel catalytic ceramic papers applied to oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane.

Highlights: [•] Novel catalytic papers were prepared for oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane. [•] The papers present an interconnected network structure with fibers covered by alumina. [•] The systems exhibit NiO as active phase and show high activity for ODE. [•] Catalytic paper with Ce/Ni=0.17 atomic ratio showed the highest productivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
