Understanding of dynamic structure of active sites is of paramount importance for rational design of industrial catalysts. This work revealed the structure evolution of iron active phases for CO 2 hydrogenation over iron‐based catalysts. With a combination of operando Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray Diffraction coupled with online gas chromatography, the panoramic structure evolution of iron oxides (α‐Fe 2 O 3 and γ‐Fe 2 O 3 ) during activation and CO 2 hydrogenation were elaborated, that is, α‐Fe 2 O 3 (γ‐Fe 2 O 3 )→α‐Fe 3 O 4 (γ‐Fe 3 O 4 )→α‐Fe (γ‐Fe)→χ‐Fe 5 C 2 (θ‐Fe 3 C). Both iron carbides showed high catalytic activities while χ‐Fe 5 C 2 exhibited higher selectivity to lower olefins but weaker chain growth probability than θ‐Fe 3 C.
