Microwave (MW)-assisted methane dehydroaromatization (MDHA) using an Mo-supported HZSM-5 catalyst (Mo/HZ5) can convert methane into value-added aromatic products in modular microwave reactor systems, enabling producers to generate revenue from an otherwise wasted resource. Modifying the local environments of active Mo species with metal promoters potentially regulates the reaction/deactivation pathways and improves the heating properties of the Mo/HZ5 under microwaves. Herein, metal promoters (M), including monovalent K+ and bivalent Co2+ and Ni2+, were incorporated to form M-Mo/HZ5 and their MDHA performance was investigated.
