The oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODP) using CO2 offers a promising route to propylene production, as CO2 acts as a milder oxidant than O2. This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of CrOx/MCM-41 catalysts prepared by co-precipitation of chromium nitrate and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of the C16TMABr template. The resulting MCM-41-supported catalysts, along with the initial MCM-41 support, were characterized by N2 physisorption, TG-DTG-DTA, XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, UV-Vis DRS, XPS, TPR-H2, and small-angle X-ray scattering. Analysis revealed that Cr in the 1-5Crinc/MCM-41 samples primarily exists as Cr6+, while in the 7-9Crinc/MCM-41 samples, both Cr3+ and Cr6+ are present, with Cr3+ being the dominant species. Catalytic testing conducted at an atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of 550–750 °C showed that the 5Crinc/MCM-41 and 3Crinc/MCM-41 catalysts achieved the highest propylene selectivity (68% at 575 °C with a 19% propane conversion and 69% at 600 °C with a 13% propane conversion, respectively). Notably, the incorporated Crinc/MCM-41 catalysts exhibited a 1.5–2.5 times higher productivity compared to supported Cr/MCM-41 catalysts.
