Abstract The selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODHE) is attracting increasing attention as a method for ethylene production. Typically, thermocatalysts operating at high temperatures are needed C–H activation in ethane. In this study, we describe low temperature ( < 140 °C) photocatalytic route ODHE, using O 2 the oxidant. A photocatalyst containing PdZn intermetallic nanoparticles supported on ZnO prepared, affording an production rate 46.4 mmol g –1 h with 92.6% selectivity under 365 nm irradiation. When employ simulated shale gas feed, ODHE system achieves nearly 20% conversion while maintaining about 87%. robust interface between and support plays crucial role through photo-assisted Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, followed by rapid lattice oxygen replenishment to complete reaction cycle. Our findings demonstrate that promising alkane-to-alkene conversions mild conditions.

Photocatalytic conversion of methane to value-added products under mild conditions, which represents a long sought-after goal for industrial sustainable production, remains extremely challenging afford high production and selectivity using cheap catalysts. Herein, we present the crystal phase engineering commercially available anatase TiO2 via simple thermal annealing optimize structure-property correlation. A biphase catalyst with (90%) rutile (10%) optimal interface concentration exhibits exceptional performance in oxidation formaldehyde reaction conditions water solvent, oxygen atmosphere, full-spectrum light irradiation. An unprecedented 24.27 mmol gcat-1 an excellent 97.4% toward is acquired at room temperature after 3 h reaction. Both experimental results theoretical calculations disclose that lengthens lifetime photogenerated carriers favors formation intermediate methanol species, thus maximizing efficiency aerobic formaldehyde. More importantly, feasibility scale-up demonstrated by inventing "pause-flow" reactor. This work opens avenue transformation economical way.

The huge challenge for CH4 photooxidation into CH3OH lies in the activation of inert C-H bond and inhibition overoxidation. Herein, we design two-dimensional in-plane Z-scheme heterostructures composed two different metal oxides, with efforts to polarize symmetrical molecules strengthen O-H CH3OH. As a prototype, first fabricate ZnO/Fe2O3 porous nanosheets, where high-resolution transmission electron microscopy situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy affirm their heterostructure. In Fourier transform infrared spectra paramagnetic resonance demonstrate higher amount ·CH3 radicals relative pristine ZnO which density functional theory calculations validate that high local charge accumulation on Fe sites lowers adsorption energy from 0.14 0.06 eV. Moreover, charge-accumulated polarity through transferring electrons O atoms, confirmed by increased barrier 0.30 2.63 eV *CH3O formation, inhibits homolytic cleavage thus suppresses Accordingly, selectivity over nanosheets reaches up nearly 100% an activity 178.3 μmol-1 gcat-1, outperforming previously reported photocatalysts without adding any oxidants under room temperature ambient pressure.

Direct conversion of methane (CH4) to C1–2 liquid oxygenates is a captivating approach lock carbons in transportable value-added chemicals, while reducing global warming. Existing approaches utilizing the transformation CH4 fuel via tandemized steam reforming and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis are energy capital intensive. Chemocatalytic partial oxidation remains challenging due negligible electron affinity, poor C–H bond polarizability, high activation barrier. Transition-metal stoichiometric catalysts harsh oxidants reaction conditions perform poorly with randomized product distribution. Paradoxically, which active enough break also promote overoxidation, resulting CO2 generation reduced carbon balance. Developing can bonds selectively make useful chemicals at mild vital commercialization. Single atom (SACs) specifically coordinated metal centers on support have displayed intrigued reactivity selectivity for oxidation. SACs significantly reduce induced electrostatic polarization facilitate accelerated rate low temperature. The distinct metal–support interaction stabilize intermediate prevent overoxidation products. present review accounts recent progress field selective oxygenates. chemical nature catalytic sites, effects interaction, stabilization species minimize thoroughly discussed forward-looking perspective improve performance.

Direct solar-driven methane (CH4) reforming is highly desirable but challenging, particularly to achieve a value-added product with high selectivity. Here, we identify synergistic ensemble effect of atomically dispersed copper (Cu) species and partially reduced tungsten (Wδ+), stabilised over an oxygen-vacancy-rich WO3, which enables exceptional photocatalytic CH4 conversion formaldehyde (HCHO) under visible light, leading nearly 100% selectivity, very yield 4979.0 μmol·g-1 within 2 h, the normalised mass activity 8.5 × 106 μmol·g-1Cu·h-1 HCHO at ambient temperature. In-situ EPR XPS analyses indicate that Cu serve as electron acceptor, promoting photo-induced transfer from conduction band O2, generating reactive •OOH radicals. In parallel, adjacent Wδ+ act hole acceptor preferred adsorption activation site H2O produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH), thus activate methyl (•CH3). The synergy dual active sites boosts overall efficiency selectivity process.

Abstract Methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons requires harsh reaction conditions due high energy barriers associated with C−H bond activation. Herein, we report a systematic investigation of photocatalytic oxidative coupling methane (OCM) over transition‐metal‐loaded ZnO photocatalysts. A 1 wt % Au/ZnO delivered remarkable C 2 ‐C 4 hydrocarbon production rate 683 μmol g −1 h (83 selectivity) under light irradiation excellent photostability two days. The metal type and its interaction strongly influence the selectivity toward C−C products. Photogenerated Zn + ‐O − sites enable CH activation methyl intermediates (*CH 3 ) migrating onto adjacent nanoparticles. nature *CH ‐metal controls OCM In case Au, strong d‐σ orbital hybridization reduces metal‐C−H angles steric hindrance, thereby enabling efficient coupling. Findings indicate center may be suitable descriptor for predicting product during metal/ZnO
