Direct conversion of dimethyl ether to liquid fuels is an appealing one-step route to high-octane gasoline but achieving effective metal–acid synergy remains challenging. Here, the authors introduce an induction-programming strategy that converts NiOx/ZSM-5 into a cooperative Ni/NiₓC/ZSM-5 interface under reaction conditions, enabling the production of isoparaffin-rich gasoline.
