Fig. 3. Propane conversions, aromatics selectivities and yields (a), and aromatic product distributions (b) obtained on MH-ZSM-5 and Ga-MH-ZSM-5-x samples (reaction conditions: T = 540 °C, 1 atm, WHSVpropane = 0.96 h-1 and N2/C3H8 = 2.5 (vol/vol)). Propane conversion, product selectivity (c), and aromatic products distribution (d) with TOS obtained on the Ga-MH-ZSM-5-0.41 (reaction conditions: T = 580 °C, 1 atm, WHSVpropane = 1.1 h-1 and N2/C3H8 = 2.5 (vol/vol)). (e) Aromatics and BTX yields obtained on our synthesized and reported catalysts. (f) TONs (green and pink columns represent the catalytic results of various reported Ga and Zn catalysts respectively). Data in this work were obtained from Fig. S14(c) (540 °C and TOS of 100 h) and Fig. S10 (580 °C and TOS of 50 h). TON is the accumulated amount (moles) of generated aromatics per mole of Ga or Zn species, as obtained from the equation of TON = $\left[F_{\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{8}} \times \int_{0}^{t} Y_{\text {aro }, t} d t\right] / \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{M}}$, where FC3H8 is propane carbon molar flow rate; Yaro,t is instantaneous aromatics carbon molar yield at the time on stream of t; t is reaction time, and nM is the moles of Ga or Zn species of catalysts.

Reaction conditions: the temperature was ramped from room temperature to 440 °C at a rate of 5 °C/min in a (propene (1 mL/min) and N2 (160 mL/min)) gaseous mixture flow. The reaction was conducted in a U-type quartz tube micro-reactor loaded 20 mg catalyst. The gaseous products were collected for 30 s with a gas sample bag each time and analyzed by GC-MS.
