This review summarizes the latest discoveries in the field of C–H activation by copper
monoxygenases and more particularly by their bioinspired systems. This work first describes …

The stoichiometric conversion of methane to methanol by Cu-exchanged zeolites can be
brought to highest yields by the presence of extraframework Al and high CH4 chemical …

The one-step valorization of natural gas remains a challenge. Methane conversion to
methanol via chemical looping over copper-containing zeolites is a promising route, and …

Methane is an abundant resource and its direct conversion into value-added chemicals has
been an attractive subject for its efficient utilization. This method can be more efficient than …

Cu‐exchanged mordenite (MOR) is a promising material for partial CH4 oxidation. The
structural diversity of Cu species within MOR makes it difficult to identify the active Cu sites …

A key challenge for metal-exchanged zeolites is the determination of metal cation speciation
and nuclearity under synthesis and reaction conditions. Copper-exchanged zeolites, which …

Since its discovery in zeolites, the [CuOCu] 2+ motif has played an important role in our
understanding of selective methane activation over supported metal oxide nanoclusters …

In the pursuit of controlling the propensity of Cu-mordenite (MOR) for the selective oxidation
of CH4, we take a closer look at intrinsic zeolite parameters. Via synthesis design, we vary …

The direct oxidation of methane to methanol has been spotlighted research for decades, but
has never been commercialized. This study introduces cost-effective process for co …

Iron-containing zeolites possess active sites capable of catalyzing the low-temperature
partial oxidation of methane using hydrogen peroxide as an environmentally benign oxidant …
