Abstract:Soft-oxidant-assisted methane coupling has emerged as a promising pathway to upgrade methane from natural gas sources to high-value commodity chemicals, such as ethylene, at selectivities higher than those associated with oxidative (O 2 ) methane coupling (OCM). To date, few studies have reported investigations into the electronic structure and the microscopic physical structure of catalytic active sites present in the binary metal oxide catalyst systems that are known to be effective for this reaction.
