Microwave-assisted impregnation of highly dispersed Mo over HZSM-5 using various Mo precursors for methane dehydroaromatization

Two different Mo oxide precursors (α-MoO 3 and h-MoO 3 ) were synthesized to study their effect on the catalytic activity toward methane dehydroaromatization. To improve the dispersibility, microwave assisted impregnation of Mo precursors over the HZSM-5 support was employed.
