Abundant and affordable methane is not only a high‐quality fossil fuel, it is also a raw
material for the synthesis of value‐added chemicals. Solar‐energy‐driven conversion of …

Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

Direct oxidation of methane to valuable chemicals is a great challenge as catalysts with both
high activity and selectivity for the activation of inert C–H bonds are required. Here, we …

Almost a quarter of the energy consumed globally is directly or indirectly related to the use of
a catalytic process. Conventional nanoparticle-based catalysts recently witnessed the dawn …

Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined
channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as …

Copper-exchanged zeolites can continuously and selectively catalyze the partial oxidation
of methane to methanol using only oxygen and water at low temperatures, but the genesis …

Methane is one of the most abundant molecules on Earth. Most of the state-of-the-art
methane chemical conversion technologies require high temperatures, they are …

CO2 and CH4 contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, while the production of industrial
base chemicals from natural gas resources is emerging as well. Such conversion processes …

Methane activation and utilization are among the major challenges of modern science.
Methane is potentially an important feedstock for manufacturing value-added fuels and …

Despite its inherent constraints which hindered significant improvement in the process
catalytically, the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) remains an indispensable …
