We report that the coupling of methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) and methanol methylation over a Mo/HZSM-5 catalyst can realize the direct conversion of methane to benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX) with long-time steady state (60 h), higher activity (26.4%), and selectivity of BTX (>90%) at atmospheric pressure and 973 K. Based on characterization, it was confirmed that the formed benzene can be effectively methylated by methanol, leading to high activity and stability, which proves that the coke from polycondensation of the formed benzene results in rapid deactivation of MDA.
