Algorithms show how catalysts turn propane into propylene — English Level A1

Researchers at the University of Rochester make new algorithms.
The algorithms explain how propane becomes propylene.
Propylene is used to make many plastic items.
The team studies nanoscale catalysts in single reactions.
Oxide material grows around defective metal sites.
This growth helps keep the catalyst stable.
The study was published in a chemistry journal.
Deshpande and Srirangam are on the research team.
The algorithms may also explain methanol synthesis.
