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 …

In this critical review we examine the current state of our knowledge in respect of the nature
of the active sites in copper containing zeolites for the selective conversion of methane to …

As a promising approach for carbon dioxide capture, chemical looping combustion has been
extensively investigated for more than two decades. However, the chemical looping strategy …

Methane activation under moderate conditions and with good selectivity for value-added
chemicals still remains a huge challenge. Here, we present a highly selective catalyst for the …

The selective oxidation of methane, the primary component of natural gas, remains an
important challenge in catalysis. We used colloidal gold-palladium nanoparticles, rather …

Conspectus In the recent years methane has become increasingly abundant. However,
transportation costs are high and methane recovered as side product is often flared rather …

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 …

We review the structural chemistry and reactivity of copper-exchanged molecular sieves with
chabazite (CHA) topology, as an industrially applied catalyst in ammonia mediated …

Direct partial oxidation of methane into methanol is a cornerstone of catalysis. The stepped
conversion of methane into methanol currently involves activation at high temperature and …

Cu-exchanged small-pore zeolites (CHA and AEI) form methanol from methane (> 95%
selectivity) using a 3-step cyclic procedure (Wulfers et al. Chem. Commun. 2015, 51, 4447 …
