Low-Temperature Transformation of Methane to Methanol on Pd O Single Sites Anchored on the Internal Surface of Microporous Silicate.

Direct conversion of methane to chemical feedstocks such as methanol under mild conditions is a challenging but ideal solution for utilization of methane. Pd O single-sites anchored on the internal surface of micropores of a microporous silicate exhibit high selectivity and activity in transforming CH to CH OH at 50-95 °C in aqueous phase through partial oxidation of CH with H O . The selectivity for methanol production remains at 86.
