Iron-based catalysts often undergo dynamic carburization and oxidation phase transitions in a CO2/H2 atmosphere. The identification of the active phase and the control of stability remain key challenges affecting their industrial application. This study employed a gas-solid carburization method to prepare high-purity single-phase χ-Fe5C2 (Hägg carbide) and θ-Fe3C (cementite), with their structural purity systematically confirmed by XRD and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MES). Using techniques including fixed-bed reactor tests (H2/CO2=1, 0.1 MPa, 270–420 °C), pulse experiments (270 °C) and in situ XRD (10% CO2/He, 340 °C), the catalytic performance and structural evolution pathways of these carbides in the reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) reaction were thoroughly investigated. The results indicate that χ-Fe5C2 exhibits higher RWGS activity but is more susceptible to oxidation during the reaction. In contrast, θ-Fe3C demonstrates stronger anti-oxidation stability but lower RWGS activity. Under RWGS conditions with H2, θ-Fe3C can partially transform into χ-Fe5C2. However, in 10% CO2 atmosphere, both carbides are directly oxidized to Fe3O4, with no observed phase transformation between the iron carbides. These findings reveal the differences in the evolution mechanisms of χ-Fe5C2 and θ-Fe3C under different atmospheres, providing experimental basis for the regulation of phase structure and optimization of operational stability in iron-based Fischer-Tropsch and RWGS catalysts.
