However, the low methane conversion and aromatics selectivity and weak durability restrain the realistic application for industry. Here, a mechanism for enhancing catalysis activity on methane activation and carbon-carbon bond coupling has been found to promote conversion and selectivity simultaneously by adding platinum\u2013bismuth alloy cluster to form a trimetallic catalyst on zeolite (Pt-Bi\/Mo\/ZSM-5). This bimetallic alloy cluster has synergistic interaction with molybdenum: the formed CH\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>*<\/jats:sup>\n                    from Mo\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    C on the external surface of zeolite can efficiently move on for C-C coupling on the surface of Pt-Bi particle to produce C\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    compounds, which are the key intermediates of oligomerization. This pathway is parallel with the catalysis on Mo inside the cage. This catalyst demonstrated 18.7% methane conversion and 69.4% benzene selectivity at 710\u2009\u00b0C. With 95% methane\/5% nitrogen feedstock, it exhibited robust stability with slow deactivation rate of 9.3% after 2\u2009h and instant recovery of 98.6% activity after regeneration in hydrogen. The enhanced catalytic activity is strongly associated with synergistic interaction with Mo and ligand effects of alloys by extensive mechanism studies and DFT calculation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-024-47595-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,16]],"date-time":"2024-04-16T11:26:56Z","timestamp":1713266816000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Direct conversion of methane to aromatics and hydrogen via a heterogeneous trimetallic synergistic catalyst"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Pengxi","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenjuan","family":"Bian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7890-7612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1656-229X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4930-8618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaozhou","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie L.","family":"Spence","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3729-3148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuancheng","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6921-4504","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8734-7933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanping","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"47595_CR1","unstructured":"Bender, M. in DGMK Conference.
