Keynote

Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts for methane conversion to aromatics were studied by combining reaction measurements, characterization with multiple spectroscopic techniques and modeling with DFT calculations. These experimental-computational studies with characterization under reaction conditions determine the structure of initial Mo species and demonstrate that they can be regenerated, fully restoring catalytic activity.
