Methane is an important fossil fuel and widely available on the earth's crust. It is a
greenhouse gas that has more severe warming effect than CO2. Unfortunately, the emission …

Methane, the main component in natural gas, is widely utilized for energy consumption and
production of important chemicals. However, existing industrial processes for (direct or …

Direct partial oxidation of methane to liquid oxygenates has been regarded as a potential
route to valorize methane. However, CH4 activation usually requires a high temperature and …

The direct conversion of gaseous methane to energy‐dense liquid derivatives such as
methanol and ethanol is of profound importance for the more efficient utilization of natural …

The centralized production of fuels, chemicals, and fertilizers by thermocatalytic processes
sustained by fossil resources is a pillar of modern societies. Electrocatalytic transformations …

Renewable energy‐powered methane (CH4) conversion at ambient conditions is an
attractive but highly challenging field. Due to the highly inert character of CH4, the selective …

Direct conversion of methane to methanol has been a long-sought objective. Partial
oxidation by thermal catalysis is possible but suffers from a rapid loss in methanol selectivity …

The increase in natural gas reserves makes methane a significant hydrocarbon feedstock.
However, the direct catalytic conversion of methane into liquid fuels and useful chemicals …

The direct conversion of methane to methanol is very promising to achieve a decarbonized
future, but remains a great challenge. The electrochemical activation and partial oxidation of …

The selective electrochemical methane oxidation reaction (MOR) has been challenging due
to higher CH4 activation barriers and lower solubility at ambient conditions. Here, we …
