AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to efficiently catalyze the direct oxidation of methane to C1 liquid products at low temperatures, especially because oxygen molecules are difficult to activate the CH bonds in methane under mild conditions, resulting in low methane conversion efficiency and a tendency for the target product to be over-converted.
A composite catalyst of metal single-atom molecular sieves, specifically Fe-NC species supported on ZSM-23 molecular sieves, was used to achieve the low-temperature oxidation of methane to prepare C1 liquid products by controlling the distribution of acidic sites and pore structure of the catalyst through the preparation method.
This catalyst achieves highly efficient catalytic activation of methane below 80°C, generating C1 liquid products such as CH3OH, HCOOH, and HOCH2OOH. It is inexpensive, highly active, selective, and stable, and uses low-concentration hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant, ensuring high safety.
