Methane hydrate and shale gas are predicted to have substantial reserves, far beyond the
sum of other fossil fuels. Using methane instead of crude oil as a building block is, thus, a …

Solar energy provides an alternative, sustainable, and clean source of energy to meet the
global energy demands without extra carbon emissions. However, the utilization efficiency of …

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 …

Methane (CH4) oxidation to high value chemicals under mild conditions through
photocatalysis is a sustainable and appealing pathway, nevertheless confronting the critical …

Carbon recycling will become a dominant trend toward alleviating extreme climate change
and coping with the increasing energy demand in the coming years. Solar-driven strategies …

Direct and efficient oxidation of methane to methanol and the related liquid oxygenates
provides a promising pathway for sustainable chemical industry, while still remaining an …

The conversion of photocatalytic methane into methanol in high yield with selectivity remains
a huge challenge due to unavoidable overoxidation. Here, the photocatalytic oxidation of …

Solar-driven photocatalytic reactions can mildly activate hydrocarbon C–H bonds to produce
value-added chemicals. However, the inefficient utilization of photogenerated carriers …

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 …

Methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons requires harsh reaction conditions due to high
energy barriers associated with C− H bond activation. Herein, we report a systematic …
