Bifunctional Catalysis of Mo/HZSM-5 in the Dehydroaromatization of Methane to Benzene and Naphthalene XAFS/TG/DTA/MASS/FTIR Characterization and Supporting Effects

TL;DR: This work focuses mainly on the fundamentals of C-H activation and analyzes the reaction pathways toward selective routes of OCM, MDA, and MTOAH to provide some insights into their reaction mechanisms and implications for future development of highly selective catalysts for direct conversion of methane to high value-added chemicals.

TL;DR: In this article, the current status of this research field is discussed with an emphasis on C-H bond activation and future challenges, as well as future challenges for the direct conversion of methane to more valuable chemicals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main challenges to be addressed in the development of heterogeneous catalysts for the direct functionalization of methane are highlighted and highlighted possible paths to overcome these problems.

TL;DR: A critical, up-to-date overview of the development of titania-based photocatalysts for hydrogen production is provided, as well as a comprehensive background source and guide for future research.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2 wt% Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst was used for the dehydroaromatization of methane to benzene in the absence of an added oxidant.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of methane with unsupported and supported molybdenum compounds (Mo, MoO2, Mo3, Mo2C, and MoC(1−x)) has been investigated at 973 K. ZSM-5 was used as a support.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Mo loading, calcination temperature, reaction temperature and space velocity on the catalytic performance of methane dehydrogenation and aromatization without using oxidants over Mo/HZSM-5 has been studied.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2 wt% Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst was used for dehydroaromatization of methane to benzene, achieving a selectivity of ∼ 70% at a CH4 conversion of 8-10% for more than 16 hours.
