Processed analytical and performance testing data provided thorough characterisation of the catalysts to understand the effect of temperature on how it affects the catalyst structure and in turn influences catalytic performance. These include XRD, X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure, DSC, NMR Kerr gated Raman spectroscopy and mass spectrometry data used to determine relative methane dehydroaromatisation behaviour. Data are stored in spreadsheets in ascii format as well as graphed and are supplied in one origin file with separate tabs for each datatype.
