Abstract
Photocatalytic coupling of methane to ethane and ethylene (C2 compounds) offers a promising approach to utilizing the abundant methane resource. However, the state-of-the-art photocatalysts usually suffer from very limited C2 formation rates. Here, we report our discovery that the anatase TiO2 nanocrystals mainly exposing {101} facets, which are generally considered less active in photocatalysis, demonstrate surprisingly better performances than those exposing the high-energy {001} facet. The palladium co-catalyst plays a pivotal role and the Pd2+ site on co-catalyst accounts for the selective C2 formation. We unveil that the anatase {101} facet favors the formation of hydroxyl radicals in aqueous phase near the surface, where they activate methane molecules into methyl radicals, and the Pd2+ site participates in facilitating the adsorption and coupling of methyl radicals. This work provides a strategy to design efficient nanocatalysts for selective photocatalytic methane coupling by reaction-space separation to optimize heterogeneous-homogeneous reactions at solid-liquid interfaces.

Abstract
Developing methane utilization technologies is desired to convert abundant and renewable carbon resources, such as natural gas and biogas, into value-added chemical products. This study provides insights into emerging photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology for the photocatalytic transformation of methane to C2H6 and H2 using visible light at room temperature. The PEC conversion of methane to oxygenates has been investigated in aqueous electrolytes. Herein, we demonstrate the gas-phase PEC methane conversion using a proton exchange membrane (PEM) as a solid polymer electrolyte and a gas-diffusion photoanode for methane oxidation. Tungsten trioxide (WO3), a semiconductor photocatalyst responsive to visible light, is utilized as the photoanode material. Ultraviolet light (∼365 nm) excitation predominantly results in CO2 production with lower C2H6 selectivity in humidified methane. In contrast, visible light (∼453 nm) effectively promotes C2H6 production over the WO3 photoanode, attributed to preferential hydroxyl radical (•OH) formation compared to UV irradiation. Photogenerated holes formed near the valence band maximum of WO3 contribute to •OH formation through a single-electron water oxidation. The photogenerated •OH activates gaseous methane molecules to methyl radicals, subsequently coupled into C2H6 at the gas-electrolyte-semiconductor boundary. H2 is concurrently formed on the cathode electrocatalyst. Improving the selectivity for the dehydrogenative coupling of methane is pivotal for enhancing the energy efficiency in the PEM-PEC system.

Abstract
The catalytic conversion of greenhouse gases CH4 and CO2 constitutes an effective approach for alleviating the greenhouse effect and generating valuable chemical products. However, the intricate molecular characteristics characterized by high symmetry and bond energies, coupled with the complexity of associated reactions, pose challenges for conventional catalysts to attain high activity, product selectivity, and enduring stability. Single-atom alloys (SAAs) materials, distinguished by their tunable composition and unique electronic structures, confer versatile physicochemical properties and modulable functionalities. In recent years, SAAs materials demonstrate pronounced advantages and expansive prospects in catalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2. This review begins by introducing the challenges entailed in catalytic conversion of CH4 and CO2 and the advantages offered by SAAs. Subsequently, the intricacies of synthesis strategies employed for SAAs are presented and characterization techniques and methodologies are introduced. The subsequent section furnishes a meticulous and inclusive overview of research endeavors concerning SAAs in CO2 catalytic conversion, CH4 conversion, and synergy CH4 and CO2 conversion. The particular emphasis is directed toward scrutinizing the intricate mechanisms underlying the influence of SAAs on reaction activity and product selectivity. Finally, insights are presented on the development and future challenges of SAAs in CH4 and CO2 conversion reactions.

Abstract
With 28-34 times the greenhouse effect of CO2 over a 100-year period, methane is regarded as the second largest contributor to global warming. Reducing methane emissions is a necessary measure to limit global warming to below 1.5 °C. Photocatalytic conversion of methane is a promising approach to alleviate the atmospheric methane concentrations due to its low energy consumption and environmentally friendly characteristics. Meanwhile, this conversion process can produce valuable chemicals and liquid fuels such as CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, C2H6, and C2H4, cutting down the dependence of chemical production on crude oil. However, the development of photocatalysts with a high methane conversion efficiency and product selectivity remains challenging. In this review, we overview recent advances in semiconductor-based photocatalysts for methane conversion and present catalyst design strategies, including morphology control, heteroatom doping, facet engineering, and cocatalysts modification. To gain a comprehensive understanding of photocatalytic methane conversion, the conversion pathways and mechanisms in these systems are analyzed in detail. Moreover, the role of electron scavengers in methane conversion performance is briefly discussed. Subsequently, we summarize the anthropogenic methane emission scenarios on earth and discuss the application potential of photocatalytic methane conversion. Finally, challenges and future directions for photocatalytic methane conversion are presented.

Abstract
Methane (CH4 ) is an attractive energy source and important greenhouse gas. Therefore, from the economic and environmental point of view, scientists are working hard to activate and convert CH4 into various products or less harmful gas at low-temperature. Although the inert nature of CH bonds requires high dissociation energy at high temperatures, the efforts of researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of catalysts to activate CH4 at low temperatures. In this review, the efficient catalysts designed to reduce the CH4 oxidation temperature and improve conversion efficiencies are described. First, noble metals and transition metal-based catalysts are summarized for activating CH4 in temperatures ranging from 50 to 500 °C. After that, the partial oxidation of CH4 at relatively low temperatures, including thermocatalysis in the liquid phase, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and nonthermal plasma technologies, is briefly discussed. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are presented to provide a systematic guideline for designing and synthesizing the highly efficient catalysts in the complete/partial oxidation of CH4 at low temperatures.
