The catalytic reaction pathways and performance of supported single Pt atom on nitrogen- and boron-doped graphene in the direct dehydrogenation of propane (PDH) are investigated by using first principles calculations. The different dopants on graphene have distinct effects on the electronic structure of the supported Pt atom. The nitrogen on the support withdraws electrons from Pt, but boron donates electrons to Pt. Consequently, the d-band center of Pt atom is modified by either nitrogen or boron doping. The nitrogen doping shifts the d-band center of Pt atom closer to the Fermi level compared with the boron doping and the pristine ones. On the other hand, the d-band center has a significant influence on the C-H bond dissociation energy and reaction barrier. Therefore, better reactivity of Pt is found on the support with more nitrogen dopants as the d-band center is closer to the Fermi level. Also the calculated dissociation energy and the first C-H bond activation barrier obey the BEP rule. The different ratios between nitrogen and boron on the codoped graphene can continuously adjust the electronic structure of supported Pt and deliver the dissociation energy and reaction barrier in between the pure nitrogen- and boron-doped cases. Among various investigated supports, the graphene doped by pyridine nitrogen is predicted to be the most effective for enhancing Pt catalytic performance. The current work shows the promising catalytic performance of supported single Pt atom in PDH. More importantly, the tunable properties of the supported metal catalysts on the carbon materials are achieved by the rational doping, which provides a practical strategy for the catalyst optimization.
