Selective photocatalytic conversion of methane into carbon monoxide over zinc-heteropolyacid-titania nanocomposites

Abstract: Chemical utilization of vast fossil and renewable feedstocks of methane remains one of the most important challenges of modern chemistry. Herein, we report direct and selective methane photocatalytic oxidation at ambient conditions into carbon monoxide, which is an important chemical intermediate and a platform molecule. The composite catalysts on the basis of zinc, tungstophosphoric acid and titania exhibit exceptional performance in this reaction, high carbon monoxide selectivity and quantum efficiency of 7.… Show more

“…Recently, we developed zinc-modied heteropolyacid-titania nanocomposites, which exhibit selective carbon monoxide production from methane at ambient temperature. 38 In the present study, we report for the rst time that the specically designed Zn-HPW/TiO 2 core-shell systems exhibited high photocatalytic activity in the selective conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide in the presence of water. In situ study of the reaction mechanism by IR and XPS has provided important insights into the reaction mechanism.…”

“…After the activation of CH 4 , the ÁCH 3 generated can be converted to CH 3 OH with its interaction with H 2 O, ÁOH, or ÁO 2 − via Equations (9) and (14) (1) and (2)), and could play a key role in CH 3 OH formation, as suggested in the scavenger tests ( Figure 6). As shown in Equations (15) and (16) Figure 8B). For the full-sunlight system, the H + could be primarily generated from the interaction between H 2 O 2 and h + , thus only a little trace of H 2 O was found in the corresponding methanol products (Figure 8A,C).…”

“…Photocatalysis is an alternative and capable pathway to mitigate the consequence of the intensive fossil fuel consumption in many potential areas, including water splitting for hydrogen evolution, [1][2][3] carbon dioxide photoreduction, 4,5 nitrogen fixation [6][7][8][9] and methane upgrade. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The key is the development of an efficient photocatalyst. Amongst various photocatalysts, visible-light responsive graphitic carbon nitride (C 3 N 4 ) has recently emerged as a promising candidate due to its good activity and remarkable chemical stability.…”
