The CO₂ hydrogenation reaction over the oxide-zeolite bifunctional catalyst yields a mixture of BTX (benzene, toluene, and xylene), C₉, and C₁₀₊ aromatic products, among which BTX is of the highest commercial value. To improve the distribution of the aromatic products and promote the production of BTX, the core-shell structured zeolite ZSM-5@Silicalite-1 was prepared by the epitaxial growth method in this work. According to the characterization results of powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), N₂ adsorption-desorption, temperature-programmed desorption of NH₃ (NH₃-TPD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and pyridine adsorption Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Py-IR), the inert Silicalite-1 shell is uniformly coated on the external surface of the ZSM-5 core, therefore changes its acidic properties especially reduces the external acidity, which contributes to improving the aromatic distribution. When applied in the one-step CO₂-to-aromatic reaction, the combination of ZSM-5@Silicalite-1 and Zn-Cr oxide resulted in a CO₂ conversion of 21.9% and aromatics selectivity of 79.3% under the conditions of V_H₂/V_CO₂=3.0, 1 200 mL·g^-1·h^-1, 320 ℃, and 4.0 MPa, and it gave a 33.5% of light aromatics in the overall aromatics, which was higher than 14.8% over the ZnCr₂O₄/ZSM-5 system. Additionally, in the one-step CO₂-to-aromatic reaction system, the by-products of CO and H₂O are generated from the side reaction of reverse water-gas shift (RWGS). Due to the higher hydrophobicity of Silicalite-1 than ZSM-5, H₂O is enriched at the interface between the oxide and core-shell zeolite, which can shift the reaction equilibrium of RWGS, thus inhibiting the generation of CO. As a result, the CO selectivity was significantly reduced at high space velocities compared with the unmodified oxide-zeolite system. At an optimal shell thickness, the ZnCr₂O₄/ZSM-5@Silicalite-1 bifunctional catalyst obtained a space-time yield of aromatics of 2.4 mmol·g^-1·h^-1 at 8 400 mL·g^-1·h^-1, which was 22% higher compared with ZnCr₂O₄/ZSM-5.
