Developing robust catalysts for direct synthesis of light olefins from syngas remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a novel bifunctional catalyst composed of ZnCr binary oxide and low-Si AlPO-18 zeolite which exhibits enhanced CO conversion and selectivity to C2-C4 olefins under mild reaction conditions.
