“…Following these comments, Liu et al. attributed these conflicting results to various differences in the experimental conditions ( e. g ., CH 4 /CH 3 OH molar ratio, inlet temperature of methanol, GHSV, and catalyst preparation methods) [141] . These series of works illustrate the potentially desirable, yet controversial, aspects of the application of alcohols to alkane aromatization at higher temperatures.…”

“…Furthermore, methanol was fully converted in their work (both theoretically and experimentally), whereas only a 14.8 % methanol conversion was reported in the original study by Liu et al Following these comments, Liu et al attributed these conflicting results to various differences in the experimental conditions (e. g., CH 4 /CH 3 OH molar ratio, inlet temperature of methanol, GHSV, and catalyst preparation methods). [141] These series of works illustrate the potentially desirable, yet controversial, aspects of the application of alcohols to alkane aromatization at higher temperatures. Hence, further comprehensive studies are required for a clearer understanding.…”

Catalytic conversion of light alkanes (C1‐C3) to aromatics offers an attractive valorization route for abundant gas resources and has been a prevalent topic of research over the past few decades. Despite considerable advancements in the understanding of these reactions, several fundamental and practical hurdles have prevented their industrial application. Among the numerous attempts to resolve these issues, co‐feeding certain additives yields promising results, including the activation of alkanes under milder conditions, an increase in catalytic stability, and a shift in product distribution towards more desirable compounds. Systematic studies have elucidated the precise working mechanism of the co‐feeds in aromatization systems, explaining the experimentally observed results. This review provides an extensive compilation of information on the application of co‐feeds in light alkane aromatization, which has accumulated in the literature since the pioneering reports in the 1990s. Detailed summaries are provided for each additive, ranging from hydrocarbons to oxidants. Viable strategies for future work in this field, aiming to bridge the gap between academic studies and industrial applications, are also discussed.
