Major routes in the photocatalytic methane conversion into chemicals and fuels under mild conditions

Di Hu et al.

Summary: This review explores low temperature methane photocatalytic conversion routes and finds that methane oxidation and reforming have high conversion rates, while methane coupling shows high selectivity. The most promising route may be methane oxidation to methanol, with higher productivity and selectivity. Further advancements in methane conversion can be achieved through the development of new materials, photoreactors, and operating modes combining photocatalysis with electrocatalysis.

Visible-light driven room-temperature coupling of methane to ethane by atomically dispersed Au on WO3

Xing Yang Wu et al.

Summary: The combination of gold as co-catalyst and singlet oxygen as oxidant is an effective strategy for selectively converting methane. Atomically dispersed Au on WO3 showed enhanced visible light photocatalytic conversion of CH4, with a high selectivity. Investigation of the radicals-pathway mechanism of methane coupling and theoretical calculations on the electronic structure of Au/WO3 were conducted for a better understanding of the process.
