Abstract
Methane as the main component in natural gas is a promising chemical raw material for synthesizing value-added chemicals, but its harsh chemical conversion process often causes severe energy and environment concerns. Photocatalysis provides an attractive path to active and convert methane into various products under mild conditions with clean and sustainable solar energy, although many challenges remain at present. In this review, recent advances in photocatalytic methane conversion are systematically summarized. As the basis of methane conversion, the activation of methane is first elucidated from the structural basis and activation path of methane molecules. The study is committed to categorizing and elucidating the research progress and the laws of the intricate methane conversion reactions according to the target products, including photocatalytic methane partial oxidation, reforming, coupling, combustion, and functionalization. Advanced photocatalytic reactor designs are also designed to enrich the options and reliability of photocatalytic methane conversion performance evaluation. The challenges and prospects of photocatalytic methane conversion are also discussed, which in turn offers guidelines for methane-conversion-related photocatalyst exploration, reaction mechanism investigation, and advanced photoreactor design.

Abstract
We have demonstrated the oxidation of mixed alkanes (propane, n-butane, and isobutane) by ozone in a condensed phase at ambient temperature and mild pressures (up to 1.3 MPa). Oxygenated products such as alcohols and ketones are formed with a combined molar selectivity of >90%. The ozone and dioxygen partial pressures are controlled such that the gas phase is always outside the flammability envelope. Because the alkane-ozone reaction predominantly occurs in the condensed phase, we are able to harness the unique tunability of ozone concentrations in hydrocarbon-rich liquid phases for facile activation of the light alkanes while also avoiding over-oxidation of the products. Further, adding isobutane and water to the mixed alkane feed significantly enhances ozone utilization and the oxygenate yields. The ability to tune the composition of the condensed media by incorporating liquid additives to direct selectivity is a key to achieving high carbon atom economy, which cannot be achieved in gas-phase ozonations. Even in the liquid phase, without added isobutane and water, combustion products dominate during neat propane ozonation, with CO2 selectivity being >60%. In contrast, ozonation of a propane+isobutane+water mixture suppresses CO2 formation to 15% and nearly doubles the yield of isopropanol. A kinetic model based on the formation of a hydrotrioxide intermediate can adequately explain the yields of the observed isobutane ozonation products. Estimated rate constants for the formation of oxygenates suggest that the demonstrated concept has promise for facile and atom-economic conversion of natural gas liquids to valuable oxygenates and broader applications associated with C-H functionalization.

Abstract
Oxidative addition of CH4 to the catalyst surface produces CH3 and H. If the CH3 species generated on the surface couple with each other, reductive elimination of C2H6 may be achieved. Similarly, H's could couple to form H2. This is the outline of nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM). It is difficult to achieve this reaction on a typical Pt catalyst surface. This is because methane is overoxidized and coking occurs. In this study, the authors approach this problem from a molecular aspect, relying on organometallic or complex chemistry concepts. Diagrams obtained by extending the concepts of the Walsh diagram to surface reactions are used extensively. C-H bond activation, i.e., oxidative addition, and C-C and H-H bond formation, i.e., reductive elimination, on metal catalyst surfaces are thoroughly discussed from the point of view of orbital theory. The density functional theory method for structural optimization and accurate energy calculations and the extended Hückel method for detailed analysis of crystal orbital changes and interactions play complementary roles. Limitations of monometallic catalysts are noted. Therefore, a rational design of single atom alloy (SAA) catalysts is attempted. As a result, the effectiveness of the Pt1/Au(111) SAA catalyst for NOCM is theoretically proposed. On such an SAA surface, one would expect to find a single Pt monatomic site in a sea of inert Au atoms. This is desirable for both inhibiting overoxidation and promoting reductive elimination.

Abstract
Light olefins are important feedstocks and platform molecules for the chemical industry. Their synthesis has been a research priority in both academia and industry. There are many different approaches to the synthesis of these compounds, which differ by the choice of raw materials, catalysts and reaction conditions. The goals of this review are to highlight the most recent trends in light olefin synthesis and to perform a comparative analysis of different synthetic routes using several quantitative characteristics: selectivity, productivity, severity of operating conditions, stability, technological maturity and sustainability. Traditionally, on an industrial scale, the cracking of oil fractions has been used to produce light olefins. Methanol-to-olefins, alkane direct or oxidative dehydrogenation technologies have great potential in the short term and have already reached scientific and technological maturities. Major progress should be made in the field of methanol-mediated CO and CO2 direct hydrogenation to light olefins. The electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to light olefins is a very attractive process in the long run due to the low reaction temperature and possible use of sustainable electricity. The application of modern concepts such as electricity-driven process intensification, looping, CO2 management and nanoscale catalyst design should lead in the near future to more environmentally friendly, energy efficient and selective large-scale technologies for light olefin synthesis.

Abstract
Methane oxidative coupling (OCM) is considered a potential direct route to produce C2 hydrocarbons. Layered perovskite-like Sr2TiO4 is a promising OCM catalyst. Mechanochemical activation (MA) is known to be an environmentally friendly method for perovskite synthesis. Sr2TiO4 were synthesized using MA of the mixtures containing SrCO3 or SrO and TiO2 or TiO(OH)2 and annealing at 900 and 1100 °C. XRD and FT-IRS showed that MA leads to the starting component disordering and formation of SrTiO3 only for SrO being pronounced when using TiO(OH)2. After annealing at 900 °C, Sr2TiO4 was mainly produced from the mixtures of SrCO3 or SrO and TiO(OH)2. The single-phase Sr2TiO4 was only obtained from MA products containing SrCO3 after calcination at 1100 °C. The surface enrichment with Sr was observed by XPS for all samples annealed at 1100 °C depending on the MA product composition. The OCM activity of the samples correlated with the surface Sr concentration and the ratio of the surface oxygen amount in SrO and perovskite (Oo/Op). The maximal CH4 conversion and C2 yield (25.6 and 15.5% at 900 °C, respectively), and the high long-term stability were observed for the sample obtained from (SrCO3 + TiO2), showing the specific surface morphology and optimal values of the surface Sr concentration and Oo/Op ratio.

Abstract
The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) on MgO is often computationally explored via Mars-Krevelen (MvK) mechanism. However, the difficult desorption of CH3 radical at stepped MgO surface shadow the feasibility of mechanism. In this work, density functional theory calculations are performed to unravel the syngenetic effects between reactants which lead to a new Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H)-like mechanism. It was found that co-adsorption of reactants pave ways for CH3 radical formation with negligible desorption energy. The role of oxygen molecule is not only to oxidize reduced surface but also decrease the reactivity of Mg-O site which facile CH3 desorption. Electronic structure analysis indicated the distinct feature along pathway between MvK and L-H. The current work clearly indicated the importance of effective interactions between reactants and provided new insights on the reaction mechanism of OCM.

Abstract
The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) process is considered an intriguing route for the production of ethylene, one of the most demanded petrochemical products on the market. Ethylene can be produced by various methods, but the most widely used is the steam cracking process. However, due to the current instability of the crude oil market and the shale gas revolution, the production of olefins from natural gas has opened a new path for companies to mitigate the high demand for crude oil while utilizing an abundant amount of natural gas. In this work, the OCM process was compared with other existing processes, and the process was simulated using Aspen HYSYS. The flowsheet was divided into four sections, namely (i) the reaction section, (ii) the water removal section, (iii) the carbon dioxide capture section, and (iv) the ethylene purification section. Each section was thoroughly discussed, and the heat integration of the process was performed to ensure maximum energy utilization. The heat exchanger network was constructed, and the results show that the heating utility can be reduced by more than 95% (from 76567 kW to 2107.5 kW) and the cooling utility can be reduced by more than 60% (from 116398 kW to 41939.2 kW) at an optimum minimum temperature difference of 25 °C. In addition, a case study on the recovery of the high exothermic heat of reaction for power production shows that 16.68 MW can be produced through the cycle, which can cover the total cost of compression.

Abstract
The predicted role of gas chemistry in meeting the global needs for fuels and petrochemicals makes it necessary to increase the efficiency of gas chemical processes and reduce their energy consumption. An important role in solving these problems can be played by non-catalytic autothermal oxidation processes that provide high energy efficiency with minimal demands on the composition of processed gases and their preliminary preparation. The paper presents the latest results of the development of two promising directions in natural gas processing. One, so called matrix conversion, belongs to the group of processes based on their preliminary conversion into syngas and demonstrates the possibility of a significant increase in specific capacity due to the transition to autothermal oxidative conversion. The other is based on the processes of direct conversion of hydrocarbon gases into chemical products – their partial oxidation and oxycracking with subsequent catalytic carbonylation of the resulting methanol and ethylene. In this case, additional advantages are achieved due to the possibility of direct processing of complex gas mixtures without their preliminary separation.

Abstract
At high temperatures, the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is an attractive approach for catalytic conversion of methane into value-added chemicals. Experiments with a Pt/Al2O3-coated catalytic honeycomb monolith were conducted with varying CH4/O2 ratios, N2 dilution at atmospheric pressure, and very short contact times. The reactor was modeled by a multiscale approach using a parabolic two-dimensional flow field description in the monolithic channels coupled with a heat balance of the monolithic structure, and multistep surface reaction mechanisms as well as elementary-step, gas phase reaction mechanisms. The contribution of heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions, both of which are important for the optimization of C2 products, is investigated using a combination of experimental and computational methods. The oxidation of methane, which takes place over the platinum catalyst, causes the adiabatic temperature increase required for the generation of CH3 radicals in the gas phase, which are essential for the formation of C2 species. Lower CH4/O2 ratios result in higher C2 selectivity. However, the presence of OH radicals at high temperatures facilitates subsequent conversion of C2H2 at a CH4/O2 ratio of 1.4. Thereby, C2 species selectivity of 7% was achieved at CH4/O2 ratio of 1.6, with 35% N2 dilution.

Abstract
Direct conversion of methane to C2 compounds by oxidative and nonoxidative coupling reactions has been intensively studied in the past four decades; however, because these reactions have intrinsic severe thermodynamic constraints, they have not become viable industrially. Recently, with the increasing availability of inexpensive "green electrons" coming from renewable sources, electrochemical technologies are gaining momentum for reactions that have been challenging for more conventional catalysis. Using solid-state membranes to control the reacting species and separate products in a single step is a crucial advantage. Devices using ionic or mixed ionic-electronic conductors can be explored for methane coupling reactions with great potential to increase selectivity. Although these technologies are still in the early scaling stages, they offer a sustainable path for the utilization of methane and benefit from the advances in both solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. This review identifies promising developments for solid-state methane conversion reactors by assessing multifunctional layers with microstructural control; combining solid electrolytes (proton and oxygen ion conductors) with active and selective electrodes/catalysts; applying more efficient reactor designs; understanding the reaction/degradation mechanisms; defining standards for performance evaluation; and carrying techno-economic analysis.

Abstract
A novel Mo-Sn catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane was designed using a hydrothermal method. At 650 °C, the conversion of methane was 8.6% and the selectivity of the C2 hydrocarbons reached as high as 98.1% over the Mo1Sn3 catalyst, with a CO2 selectivity of only 0.8%. We demonstrated that the deep oxidation of methane to CO2 was further inhibited due to the synergistic effects of moderately strong basic sites and reactive oxygen species on the catalyst surface.

Abstract
Designing high performance catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction is often hindered by inconsistent catalyst data, which often leads to difficulties in extracting information such as combinatorial effects of elements upon catalyst performance as well as difficulties in reaching yields beyond a particular threshold. In order to investigate C2 yields more systematically, high throughput experiments are conducted in an effort to mass-produce catalyst-related data in a way that provides more consistency and structure. Graph theory is applied in order to visualize underlying trends in the transformation of high-throughput data into networks, which are then used to design new catalysts that potentially result in high C2 yields during the OCM reaction. Transforming high-throughput data in this manner has resulted in a representation of catalyst data that is more intuitive to use and also has resulted in the successful design of a myriad of catalysts that elicit high C2 yields, several of which resulted in yields greater than those originally reported in the high-throughput data. Thus, transforming high-throughput catalytic data into catalyst design-friendly maps provides a new method of catalyst design that is more efficient and has a higher likelihood of resulting in high performance catalysts. Catalyst data created through high-throughput experimentation is transformed into catalyst knowledge networks, leading to a new method of catalyst design where successfully designed catalysts result in high C2 yields during the OCM reaction.![]()

Abstract
The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons (C2H4 and C2H6) has aroused worldwide interest over the past decade due to the rise of vast new shale gas resources. However, obtaining higher C2 selectivity can be very challenging in a typical OCM process in the presence of easily oxidized products such as C2H4 and C2H6. Regarding this, different types of catalysts have been studied to achieve desirable C2 yields. In this review, we briefly presented three typical types of catalysts such as alkali/alkaline earth metal doped/supported on metal oxide catalysts (mainly for Li doped/supported catalysts), modified transition metal oxide catalysts, and pyrochlore catalysts for OCM and highlighted the features that play key roles in the OCM reactions such as active oxygen species, the mobility of the lattice oxygen and surface alkalinity of the catalysts. In particular, we focused on the pyrochlore (A2B2O7) materials because of their promising properties such as high melting points, thermal stability, surface alkalinity and tunable M-O bonding for OCM reaction.

Abstract
Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as heterogeneous catalysts since the early 1960s, due to their wide variety of framework topologies, compositional flexibility and hydrothermal stability. The possible selection of the microporous structure and of the elements located in framework and extraframework positions enables the design of highly selective catalysts with well-defined active sites of acidic, basic or redox character, opening the path to their application in a wide range of catalytic processes. This versatility and high catalytic efficiency is the key factor enabling their use in the activation and conversion of different alkanes, ranging from methane to long chain n-paraffins. Alkanes are highly stable molecules, but their abundance and low cost have been two main driving forces for the development of processes directed to their upgrading over the last 50 years. However, the availability of advanced characterization tools combined with molecular modelling has enabled a more fundamental approach to the activation and conversion of alkanes, with most of the recent research being focused on the functionalization of methane and light alkanes, where their selective transformation at reasonable conversions remains, even nowadays, an important challenge. In this review, we will cover the use of microporous zeolite-type materials as components of mono- and bifunctional catalysts in the catalytic activation and conversion of C1+ alkanes under non-oxidative or oxidative conditions. In each case, the alkane activation will be approached from a fundamental perspective, with the aim of understanding, at the molecular level, the role of the active sites involved in the activation and transformation of the different molecules and the contribution of shape-selective or confinement effects imposed by the microporous structure.

Abstract
Identification of catalysts is a difficult matter as catalytic activities involve a vast number of complex features that each catalyst possesses. Here, catalysis gene expression profiling is proposed from unique features discovered in catalyst data collected by high-throughput experiments as an alternative way of representing the catalysts. Combining constructed catalyst gene sequences with hierarchical clustering results in catalyst gene expression profiling where natural language processing is used to identify similar catalysts based on edit distance. In addition, catalysts with similar properties are designed by modifying catalyst genes where the designed catalysts are experimentally confirmed to have catalytic activities that are associated with their catalyst gene sequences. Thus, the proposed method of catalyst gene expressions allows for a novel way of describing catalysts that allows for similarities in catalysts and catalytic activity to be easily recognized while enabling the ability to design new catalysts based on manipulating chemical elements of catalysts with similar catalyst gene sequences.

Abstract
Unveiling the details of the mechanisms of a chemical reaction is a difficult task as reaction mechanisms are strongly coupled with reaction conditions. Here, catalysts informatics combined with high-throughput experimental data is implemented to understand the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction. In particular, pairwise correlation and data visualization are performed to reveal the relation between reaction conditions and selectivity/conversion. In addition, machine learning is used to fill the gap between experimental data points; thus, a more detailed understanding of the OCM reaction against reaction conditions can be achieved. Therefore, catalysts informatics is proposed for understanding the details of the reaction mechanism, thereby aiding reaction design.

Abstract
There is an obvious gap between efforts dedicated to the control of chemicophysical and morphological properties of catalyst active phases and the attention paid to the search of new materials to be employed as functional carriers in the upgrading of heterogeneous catalysts. Economic constraints and common habits in preparing heterogeneous catalysts have narrowed the selection of active-phase carriers to a handful of materials: oxide-based ceramics (e.g. Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, and aluminosilicates-zeolites) and carbon. However, these carriers occasionally face chemicophysical constraints that limit their application in catalysis. For instance, oxides are easily corroded by acids or bases, and carbon is not resistant to oxidation. Therefore, these carriers cannot be recycled. Moreover, the poor thermal conductivity of metal oxide carriers often translates into permanent alterations of the catalyst active sites (i.e. metal active-phase sintering) that compromise the catalyst performance and its lifetime on run. Therefore, the development of new carriers for the design and synthesis of advanced functional catalytic materials and processes is an urgent priority for the heterogeneous catalysis of the future. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a non-oxide semiconductor with unique chemicophysical properties that make it highly attractive in several branches of catalysis. Accordingly, the past decade has witnessed a large increase of reports dedicated to the design of SiC-based catalysts, also in light of a steadily growing portfolio of porous SiC materials covering a wide range of well-controlled pore structure and surface properties. This review article provides a comprehensive overview on the synthesis and use of macro/mesoporous SiC materials in catalysis, stressing their unique features for the design of efficient, cost-effective, and easy to scale-up heterogeneous catalysts, outlining their success where other and more classical oxide-based supports failed. All applications of SiC in catalysis will be reviewed from the perspective of a given chemical reaction, highlighting all improvements rising from the use of SiC in terms of activity, selectivity, and process sustainability. We feel that the experienced viewpoint of SiC-based catalyst producers and end users (these authors) and their critical presentation of a comprehensive overview on the applications of SiC in catalysis will help the readership to create its own opinion on the central role of SiC for the future of heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Lanthanum-containing materials are widely used in oxidative catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions such as oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). However, many of these materials are highly susceptible to air contamination which means ex situ characterization results generally cannot be associated with their reactivity. In this study, the activation processes of an in situ–prepared bulk La2O2CO3 sample and an ex situ as-prepared La(OH)3 sample are in situ investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and online mass spectroscopy (MS). Results indicate that the La2O2CO3 sample, during linear heating to 800°C, always contains some carbonates near the surface region, which supports a two-step model of bulk carbonate decomposition through surface sites. The La(OH)3 sample structure evolution is more complex due to contaminations from air exposure. Together with TGA results, online mass analysis of water and CO2 signal loss showed that three major catalyst structure phase change steps and a preheating up to 800°C are required for the as-prepared material to be transferred to La2O3. This process is carefully investigated combining the three in situ methodologies. XPS and XRD data further reveal transformations of variety of in situ surface structures and forms including hybrid phases with hydroxyl, carbonates, and oxide as the sample heated to different temperatures within the range from 200 to 800°C. The results provide useful insights on the activation and deactivation of La-contained materials.

Abstract
Carbon-carbon coupling is an important step in many catalytic reactions, and performing sp3-sp3 carbon-carbon coupling heterogeneously is particularly challenging. It has been reported that PdAu single-atom alloy (SAA) model catalytic surfaces are able to selectively couple methyl groups, producing ethane from methyl iodide. Herein, we extend this study to NiAu SAAs and find that Ni atoms in Au are active for C-I cleavage and selective sp3-sp3 carbon-carbon coupling to produce ethane. Furthermore, we perform ab initio kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that include the effect of the iodine atom, which was previously considered a bystander species. We find that model NiAu surfaces exhibit a similar chemistry to PdAu, but the reason for the similarity is due to the role the iodine atoms play in terms of blocking the Ni atom active sites. Specifically, on NiAu SAAs, the iodine atoms outcompete the methyl groups for occupancy of the Ni sites leaving the Me groups on Au, while on PdAu SAAs, the binding strengths of methyl groups and iodine atoms at the Pd atom active site are more similar. These simulations shed light on the mechanism of this important sp3-sp3 carbon-carbon coupling chemistry on SAAs. Furthermore, we discuss the effect of the iodine atoms on the reaction energetics and make an analogy between the effect of iodine as an active site blocker on this model heterogeneous catalyst and homogeneous catalysts in which ligands must detach in order for the active site to be accessed by the reactants.

Abstract
The catalytic oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons with oxygen (O2 -OCM) has garnered renewed worldwide interest in the past decade due to the emergence of enormous new shale gas resources. However, the C2 selectivity of typical OCM processes is significantly challenged by overoxidation to COx products. Other gaseous reagents such as N2 O, CO2 , and S2 have been investigated to a far lesser extent as alternative, milder oxidants to replace O2 . Although several authoritative review articles have summarized OCM research progress in depth, recent oxidative coupling developments using alternative oxidants (X-OCM) have not been overviewed in detail. In this perspective, we review and analyze OCM research results reporting the implementation of N2 O, CO2 , S2 , and other non-O2 oxidants, highlighting the unique chemistries of these systems and their advantages/challenges compared to O2 -OCM. Current outlook and potential areas for future study are also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, Ho2O3 nanosheets were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. A series of Sr-modified Ho2O3 nanosheets (Sr-Ho2O3-NS) with a Sr/Ho molar ratio between 0.02 and 0.06 were prepared via an impregnation method. These catalysts were characterized by several techniques such as XRD, N2 adsorption, SEM, TEM, XPS, O2-TPD (temperature-programmed desorption), and CO2-TPD, and they were studied with respect to their performances in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). In contrast to Ho2O3 nanoparticles, Ho2O3 nanosheets display greater CH4 conversion and C2-C3 selectivity, which could be related to the preferentially exposed (222) facet on the surface of the latter catalyst. The incorporation of small amounts of Sr into Ho2O3 nanosheets leads to a higher ratio of (O− + O2−)/O2− as well as an enhanced amount of chemisorbed oxygen species and moderate basic sites, which in turn improves the OCM performance. The optimal catalytic behavior is achievable on the 0.04Sr-Ho2O3-NS catalyst with a Sr/Ho molar ratio of 0.04, which gives a 24.0% conversion of CH4 with 56.7% selectivity to C2-C3 at 650 °C. The C2-C3 yield is well correlated with the amount of moderate basic sites present on the catalysts.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to enhance the catalytic activity of perovskite catalysts and elucidate their catalytic behavior in the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM), using alkali-added LaAlO3 perovskite catalysts. We prepared LaAlO3_XY (X = Li, Na, K, Y = mol %) catalysts and applied them to the OCM reaction. The results showed that the alkali-added catalysts’ activities were promoted compared to the LaAlO3 catalyst. In this reaction, ethane was first synthesized through the dimerization of methyl radicals, which were produced from the reaction of methane and oxygen vacancy in the perovskite catalysts. The high ethylene selectivity of the alkali-added catalysts originated from their abundance of electrophilic lattice oxygen species, facilitating the selective formation of C2 hydrocarbons from ethane. The high COx (carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) selectivity of the LaAlO3 catalyst originated from its abundance of nucleophilic lattice oxygen species, favoring the selective production of COx from ethane. We concluded that electrophilic lattice oxygen species play a significant role in producing ethylene. We obtained that alkali-adding could be an effective method for improving the catalytic activity of perovskite catalysts in the OCM reaction.
