Direct conversion of methane to chemical feedstocks such as methanol under mild conditions is a challenging but ideal solution for utilization of methane. Pd1O4 single-sites anchored on the internal surface of micropores of a microporous silicate exhibit high selectivity and activity in transforming CH4 to CH3OH at 50-95 degrees C in aqueous phase through partial oxidation of CH4 with H2O2. The selectivity for methanol production remains at 86.4%, while the activity for methanol production at 95 degrees C is about 2.78 molecules per Pd1O4 site per second when 2.0wt% CuO is used as a co-catalyst with the Pd1O4@ZSM-5. Thermodynamic calculations suggest that the reaction toward methanol production is highly favorable compared to formation of a byproduct, methyl peroxide.
