Enhancement of α-oxygen formation and N₂O decomposition on Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts by extraframework Al

Abstract

The concentration of alpha-oxygen which can oxidize methane to methanol and benzene to phenol at RT, increases linearly with the amount of introduced extraframework Al on Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts prepared by solid-state exchange of FeCl3 and AlCl3 with H-ZSM-5.
