Addition of Cr to Mo/ZSM-5 can improve activity and benzene selectivity in non-oxidative methane dehydroaromatization. A combination of operando spectroscopic characterization and DFT calculations with vibrational analysis for the first time provides information on the structure and activity of Cr and Mo/ZSM-5 at the molecular level.
