Operando XRD profile simultaneously measured with temperature and gas concentration profiles at beamline P07, PETRA III (Hamburg, Germany) during ethane ODH. α (black colored pattern, 18 mm) marks the position of full gas phase oxygen conversion with different catalyst performance before and after. β (gray colored patterns, 18–24 mm) marks the catalyst bed range where the catalyst undergoes distinct phase transformations. Reaction conditions: C2H6/O2/N2:10/10/80, 515°C, 1 bar, OD 6 mm/ID 5.6 mm, 38 mm catalyst bed, 15 ml min−1, 30 wt% MoO3/γ-Al2O3, beam size 0.5 mm × 0.5 mm (H × V), 103.4 keV (λ = 0.1199 Å). |
