The quest for an efficient process to convert methane efficiently to fuels and high value-
added chemicals such as olefins and aromatics is motivated by their increasing demands …

Despite the large number of disparate approaches for the direct selective partial oxidation of
methane, none of them has translated into an industrial process. The oxidation of methane …

Catalytic conversion of one-carbon (C1) molecules, such as CO, CO 2, CH 4, and CH 3 OH,
into fuels and value-added chemicals is a vitally important process in the chemical industry …

Selective conversion of specific functional groups to desired products is highly important but
still challenging in industrial catalytic processes. The adsorption state of surface species is …

Direct conversion of methane to high-value-added chemicals is a major challenge in
catalysis, which usually requires high-energy input to overcome the reaction barrier. We …

The functionalization of C–H bonds has created new approaches to preparing organic
molecules by enabling new strategic “disconnections” during the planning of a synthetic …

Great endeavors are undertaken to search for low‐cost, rich‐reserve, and highly efficient
alternatives to replace precious‐metal catalysts, in order to cut costs and improve the …

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) mediate the facile conversion of methane into methanol
