1-73. (canceled)
A catalyst composition comprising:
- a support comprising cobalt (II) (Co2+) cations,
- wherein the catalyst composition is free of at least one of chromium and a precious metal.
A method of preparing a catalyst composition, comprising:
- loading cobalt (II) (Co2+) cations onto a support,
- wherein the catalyst composition is free of at least one of chromium and a precious metal.
A method for dehydrogenating at least one of a light alkane gas and a light alkene gas, comprising:
- contacting the at least one light alkane gas and light alkene gas with a catalyst composition comprising a support comprising cobalt (II) cations (Co2+).
