Directed transforming of coke to active intermediates in methanol-to-olefins catalyst to boost light olefins selectivity

Methanol-to-olefins is hindered by rapid catalyst deactivation due to coke deposition. Here the authors demonstrate an approach of directly transforming coke to active intermediates to simultaneously recover catalyst activity and boost light olefins selectivity.
