The shale gas revolution and the carbon-neutrality goal are motivating the landscape toward the synthesis of value-added chemicals or fuels from underutilized ethane with the assistance of greenhouse gas CO₂. Combining ethane aromatization with CO₂ reduction offers an opportunity to directly produce liquid products for facile separation, storage, and transportation. In the present work, Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts showed promise in the simultaneous CO₂ reduction and ethane aromatization at atmospheric pressure and 873 K. The catalysts were further investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements under in-situ conditions, indicating that most of Fe species existed in the form of Fe oxides and a portion of Fe was incorporated into the ZSM-5 framework generating Lewis acid sites. Both types of Fe species remained almost unchanged under reaction conditions, contributing to an enhanced aromatization activity of Fe/ZSM-5. The effects of CO₂ and steam on the acid sites and in turn aromatization activity were also investigated by transient studies, which exhibited a reversible modification behavior. Moreover, CO₂ was identified to be critical to enhance coke resistance and in turn catalyst stability. This work highlights the feasibility of using CO₂ to assist the upgrading of abundant ethane from shale gas to aromatics over non-precious Fe-based zeolite catalysts.
