Direct methane conversion to methanol has been considered as an effective and economic
way to address greenhouse effects and the current high demand for methanol in industry …

Because of the abundance of natural gas in our planet, a major goal is to achieve a direct
methane-to-methanol conversion at medium to low temperatures using mixtures of methane …

The studies described in this Perspective show that transition metal carbide (TMC)
nanoparticles can be very useful for the activation of three molecules located at the heart of …

Experiments under controlled conditions show that MoC x nanoclusters supported on an
inert Au (111) support are efficient catalysts for CO2 conversion, although with a prominent …

The inevitable emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to the burning of a substantial amount
of fossil fuels has led to serious energy and environmental challenges. Metal‐based …

Herein we report on the catalytic activity of Ti‐based MXenes (Ti3CNTz and Ti3C2Tz) for
biomass transformation. MXenes were found to be active catalysts for the hydrogenation of …

Methane and nitrogen are regarded as the most abundant sources of hydrocarbons and
nitrogen, respectively. Both compounds exhibit high stability due to the presence of daunting …

To activate methane at low or medium temperatures is a difficult task and a pre-requisite for
the conversion of this light alkane into high value chemicals. Herein, we report the …

Methane is a major component in natural gas, and its reforming or conversion to commodity
chemicals (oxygenates, olefins, aromatics) has attracted a lot of attention. While many …
