Percentage yield of PX over 16 catalyst-regeneration cycles

Caption

PX yield percentage over time in minutes. Reducing conditions, where H2 is produced in the reaction (orange), result in depletion of catalyst and lower reaction efficiency due to lowered catalyst acidity. Regeneration conditions (blue) restore catalyst acidity via an iron-based molecular switch in the presence of air.
