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 …

Metal-exchanged zeolites are a class of heterogeneous catalysts that perform important
functions ranging from selective hydrocarbon oxidation to remediation of NO x pollutants …

Cu-exchanged zeolites possess active sites that are able to cleave the C–H bond of
methane at temperatures≤ 200° C, enabling its selective partial oxidation to methanol …

Direct methane functionalization and, in particular, the selective partial oxidation to
methanol, remains an eminent challenge and a field of competitive research. The …

Metal-exchanged zeolites are known to exhibit catalytic activity in the direct conversion of
methane to methanol. The influence of different metals on this reaction has been …

Recent interest in Cu-exchanged zeolite catalysts for methane hydroxylation has been
broadened to small-pore Cu-zeolites such as Cu-SSZ-13 (Cu-CHA), Cu-SSZ-16 (Cu-AFX) …

Our Earth planet has already started to experience climate change as a result of
socioeconomic changes, and the planet's remaining fossil fuel sources are expected to run …

The direct conversion of methane into methanol is considered as one of the holy grails in
hydrocarbon chemistry and recently it was found that small pore zeolites, such as Cu-SSZ …

Cu supported on SiO2 can be used to directly convert methane to methanol in a stepwise
process with no intrinsic need for a zeolite support. Effects of parameters such as the O2 …

We herein report that a copper-ion-exchanged erionite zeolite (Cu-ERI) exhibited a
methanol yield as high as 147 μmol/g-zeolite, equaling 0.224 μmol/μmol-Cu, in the direct …
