Elevating Photooxidation of Methane to Formaldehyde via TiO2 Crystal Phase Engineering

Yuheng Jiang et al.

Summary: In this study, the crystal phase engineering of commercially available TiO2 catalyst was optimized to achieve high efficiency and selectivity in the oxidation of methane to formaldehyde under mild conditions. Experimental results and theoretical calculations revealed that crystal phase engineering prolonged the lifetime of photogenerated carriers and promoted the formation of intermediate methanol species, thus maximizing the efficiency and selectivity of formaldehyde production. Moreover, the feasibility of large-scale formaldehyde production was demonstrated by inventing a pause-flow reactor.

Light olefin synthesis from a diversity of renewable and fossil feedstocks: state-of the-art and outlook

Sergei A. Chernyak et al.

Summary: This review highlights the recent trends in light olefin synthesis, compares different synthetic routes, and analyzes various quantitative characteristics. Methanol-to-olefins, alkane direct or oxidative dehydrogenation technologies have great potential in the short term, while methanol-mediated CO and CO2 direct hydrogenation and electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 are long-term directions. The application of modern concepts can lead to more environmentally friendly, energy efficient and selective large-scale technologies for light olefin synthesis in the near future.

Aerobic oxidation of methane to formaldehyde mediated by crystal-O over gold modified tungsten trioxide via photocatalysis

Shilei Wei et al.

Summary: A direct photocatalytic conversion of methane to formaldehyde over gold modified cuboid-shaped tungsten trioxide with exposed crystal-O facets has been reported, achieving high productivity and selectivity of formaldehyde under room temperature conditions. The activation of C-H bonds in methane by high spin state crystal-O ions, combined with the extraction of photoexcited electrons by metallic gold, results in efficient formation of formaldehyde. Isotopic tests confirm the origin of formaldehyde from the combination of methane and crystal-O on the exposed facets.

Highly efficient Ru/CeO2 catalysts for formaldehyde oxidation at low temperature and the mechanistic study

Xiaoxiao Qin et al.

Summary: In this study, Ru supported on CeO2 and Al2O3 catalysts were prepared and tested for the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) at low temperature. The Ru/CeO2 catalyst showed superior activity compared to Ru/Al2O3, attributed to the strong interaction between Ru and CeO2 inducing high dispersion of RuOx species. Characterization experiments revealed that RuOx species were responsible for the oxidation of HCHO on Ru/CeO2.
