Nature Catalysis, Published online: 29 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41929-026-01531-w Pt-based alloy clusters within zeolite channels are promising catalysts for the dehydrogenation of alkanes, but controlling their distribution under operation is challenging. Now a water-soaking treatment to regenerate and minimize atom migration in K–PtSn@MFI catalysts is introduced, resulting in enhanced stability for non-oxidative ethane dehydrogenation.
