The tandem reactions of CO₂-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation and aromatization (CO₂-ODA) of ethane were investigated over ZSM-5 modified with zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) by experimental studies and DFT calculations. The nature of active Zn species and their interaction with P were elucidated for understanding Zn/P-ZSM-5 catalyzed CO₂-ODA reaction of ethane. Compared to the direct dehydrogenation and aromatization (DDA) reaction, the Zn/P-ZSM-5 catalyst possessed higher ethane conversion, enhanced aromatics yield, and better stability in the CO₂-ODA reaction. Here, the presence of CO₂ reduced the carbon deposition, stabilized the Zn species, and thereby facilitated the generation of more liquid aromatics in CO₂-assisted ethane aromatization. In situ characterization and DFT calculations provided insight into the mechanisms of CO₂-ODA over the Zn/P-ZSM-5 catalyst.
