This study proposes a photocatalytic system using brookite mesoporous titanium dioxide and methanotrophs to directly convert methane into methanol. The system achieves high activity, selectivity and stability at ambient temperature and pressure, with a methanol production rate of 15,761 μmol g-1 h-1, which is dozens of times higher than previous research. The process achieves nearly 100% selectivity and excellent stability without any cocatalysts, sacrificial agents or inhibitors. The compatibility of semiconductor materials and the contact mode with methanotrophs play a significant role in the process.
The direct conversion of methane (CH4) to methanol (CH3OH) is a significant but challenging reaction. We present a photocatalytic system composed of brookite mesoporous titanium dioxide and methanotrophs (Meth-ylosinus trichosporium OB3b) for the conversion of CH4 to CH3OH with high activity, selectivity and stability at ambient temperature and pressure. This system obtains the highest CH3OH production rate (15,761 & PLUSMN; 142 & mu;mol g-1 h-1), which is dozens of times higher than most researches and 5 times of the optimal value of photcatalytic CH4 conversion under the same condition. The process achieved nearly 100% selectivity and excellent stability under simulated sunlight irradiation and without any cocatalysts, sacrificial agent or inhibitors. The biocompatibility of semiconductor materials and the contact mode with OB3b have significant impact on the process. Titanium dioxide is used as an exogenous electron donor to greatly promote the conversion activity of CH4 by OB3b under light irradiation. The work has significant pioneering implications for efficient CH4 selective conversion using natural gifts combined with artificial materials.
