Revealing the synergistic effect of InO + and Brønsted acid on the superior activity of hybrid In/H-SSZ-39 in the selective catalytic reduction of NO x with CH 4. J Colloid Interface Sci 2025; 695:137798. [PMID: 40339293 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2025.137798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2025] [Revised: 04/30/2025] [Accepted: 05/03/2025] [Indexed: 05/10/2025]
Abstract
Selective catalytic reduction of NOx with CH4 (CH4-SCR) is a promising strategy for NOx abatement that utilizes CH4 escaping from the incomplete combustion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to reduce NOx. However, developing CH4-SCR catalysts with high efficiency at temperature < 450°C remains a significant challenge. Herein, this work reported an In/H-SSZ-39-Hy zeolite catalyst (Hy represents hybrid AEI/MOR topology) with superior activity by utilizing the synergistic effect of InO+ and Brønsted acid (BA). The maximum NOx conversion (74 %) achieved over the In/H-SSZ-39-Hy at 430°C with a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 48,000 h-1, which was significantly higher than that over the commercial In/H-SSZ-39 and In/H-SSZ-13 catalysts. A series of characterizations revealed that abundant BA sites and surface adsorbed oxygen contributed to the formation of reactive InO+ and nitrate species, which played a critical role in facilitating CH4 activation and redox cycling. In situ DRIFTS confirmed that CH4 was activated at the InO+ site and reacted with nitrate at the BA sites to form the important intermediate CH3NO2, which further converted to N2, CO2 and H2O. This study elucidates the synergistic roles of InO+ and BA in CH4-SCR, and provides a deeper understanding of catalytic mechanism.

J Environ Sci (China) 2025; 151:714-732. [PMID: 39481976 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2024.04.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 11/03/2024]
Abstract
It is still a challenge to develop hierarchically nanostructured catalysts with simple approaches to enhance the low-temperature catalytic activity. Herein, a set of mesoporous Co-Cu binary metal oxides with different morphologies were successfully prepared via a facile ammonium bicarbonate precipitation method without any templates or surfactants, which were further applied for catalytic removal of carcinogenic toluene. Among the catalysts with different ratios, the CoCu0.2 composite oxide presented the best performance, where the temperature required for 90% conversion of toluene was only 237°C at the high weight hour space velocity (WHSV) of 240,000 mL/(gcat·hr). Meanwhile, compared to the related Co-Cu composite oxides prepared by using different precipitants (NaOH and H2C2O4), the NH4HCO3-derived CoCu0.2 sample exhibited better catalytic efficiency in toluene oxidation, while the T90 were 22 and 28°C lower than those samples prepared by NaOH and H2C2O4 routes, respectively. Based on various characterizations, it could be deduced that the excellent performance was related to the small crystal size (6.7 nm), large specific surface area (77.0 m2/g), hollow hierarchical nanostructure with abundant high valence Co ions and adsorbed oxygen species. In situ DRIFTS further revealed that the possible reaction pathway for the toluene oxidation over CoCu0.2 catalyst followed the route of absorbed toluene → benzyl alcohol → benzaldehyde → benzoic acid → carbonate → CO2 and H2O. In addition, CoCu0.2 sample could keep stable with long-time operation and occur little inactivation under humid condition (5 vol.% water), which revealed that the NH4HCO3-derived CoCu0.2 nanocatalyst possessed great potential in industrial applications for VOCs abatement.

Abstract
Nanozymes, characterized by enzyme-like activity, have been extensively used in quantitative analysis and rapid detection due to their small size, batch fabrication, and ease of modification. Researchers have combined aptamers, an emerging molecular probe, with nanozymes for biosensing to address the limited reaction specificity of nanozymes. Nanozyme aptasensors are currently experiencing significant growth, offering a promising solution to the lack of rapid detection methods across various fields. Unlike traditional nanozyme research, the development of nanozyme aptasensors is challenging as it requires the design of highly active nanozymes as well as the establishment of efficient and agile interactions between aptamers and nanozymes. Therefore, this review summarizes the active species and catalytic mechanisms of various nanozymes along with classical design options, discussing the future development of nanozyme aptasensors. It is anticipated that this review will inspire researchers in this domain, leading to the design of more enzymatically active nanozymes and advanced nanozyme aptasensors.

Abstract
It is a great challenge for vehicles to satisfy the increasingly stringent emission regulations for pollutants and greenhouse gases. Throughout the history of the development of vehicle emission control technology, catalysts have always been in the core position of vehicle aftertreatment. Aiming to address the significant demand for synergistic control of pollutants and greenhouse gases from vehicles, this review provides a panoramic view of emission control technologies and key aftertreatment catalysts for vehicles using fossil fuels (gasoline, diesel, and natural gas) and carbon-neutral fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, and green alcohols). Special attention will be given to the research advancements in catalysts, including three-way catalysts (TWCs), NOx selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts, NOx storage-reduction (NSR) catalysts, diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs), soot oxidation catalysts, ammonia slip catalysts (ASCs), methane oxidation catalysts (MOCs), N2O abatement catalysts (DeN2O), passive NOx adsorbers (PNAs), and cold start catalysts (CSCs). The main challenges for industrial applications of these catalysts, such as insufficient low-temperature activity, product selectivity, hydrothermal stability, and poisoning resistance, will be examined. In addition, the future development of synergistic control of vehicle pollutants and greenhouse gases will be discussed from a catalysis perspective.

Abstract
Producing value-added chemicals and fuels from methane (CH4) under mild conditions efficiently utilizes this cheap and abundant feedstock, promoting economic growth, energy security, and environmental sustainability. However, the first CH bond activation is a significant challenge and requires high energy. Efficient catalysts have been sought for utilizing CH4 at low temperatures including emerging single-atom catalysts (SACs). In this work, we screened fourteen transition metals (TM = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt) doped at a single oxygen vacancy in Mo2TiC2O2 (TMSA-Mo2TiC2O2 SACs) for methane activation using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results reveal that methane adsorption is thermodynamically stable on all simulated TMSA-Mo2TiC2O2 SACs, with the adsorption energies (Eads) ranging from -0.92 to -0.40 eV. For the CH activation process, Ru-SAC exhibits the lowest activation barrier (Ea) of 0.22 eV. In summary, Ru-, Rh-, Co-, V-, Cr-, Ti-, and Pt-SACs demonstrate promising catalytic properties for methane activation, with Ea values below 1.0 eV and an exothermic nature. Our findings pave the way for the design and development of novel single-atom catalysts in MXene materials, applicable not only for methane activation but also for other alkane dehydrogenation processes.

Abstract
ConspectusThe surface of a catalyst is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of catalytic reactions at the molecular level and developing new catalysts with higher activity, selectivity, and durability. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) is a technique studying the surface of a sample in the gas phase, mainly identifying chemical identity, analyzing oxidation state, and measuring surface composition.In the last decade, numerous photoelectron spectroscopic methods for fundamental studies of key topics in catalysis using AP-XPS have been developed. By tracking the evolution of the catalyst surface during catalyst preparation, AP-XPS can assist in identifying the parameters for preparing an expected catalyst structure. Additionally, it can uncover adsorbate coverage-induced surface restructuring by monitoring the photoemission features of key elements as the gas pressure increases. Surface phase transitions of a catalyst support, supported metal, or supported oxide nanoparticles and restructuring of supported single-atom sites may occur at temperatures lower than a catalysis temperature. AP-XPS can track these temperature-dependent phase transition or structural evolution under catalytic conditions. It also enables analysis of the electronic structure of the catalyst surface during catalysis by collecting valence band spectrum at a specific catalysis temperature. Moreover, it can detect stable intermediates formed at a temperature lower than the catalysis onset temperature and track their transformation to product molecules, providing significant insights in proposing a pathway closest to the actual but unknown one. Time-on-stream quantification of oxidation and reduction processes on catalyst surfaces allows for the study of kinetics of redox, including determinations of reaction order and activation barrier. One challenging task in accurately measuring catalytic reaction rates under kinetic control is measurement of the number of catalytic sites. AP-XPS is a valuable technique for this task, as it can qualitatively identify active sites and quantitatively measure the number of active sites under a specific catalytic condition. For photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic systems, AP-XPS helps elucidate charge transfer at the interface of a cocatalyst and semiconductor by identifying shifts in binding energy of a key element, shedding light on electron-hole separation. Photoelectron-induced excitation (PEIE) spectroscopy provides a unique capability for in situ measurement of gas products proximal to the catalyst surface within 0-0.1 mm during catalysis. It enables the on-site in situ identification of gas products and quantification of their partial pressures.The successful development of these methods highlights the unique capabilities of AP-XPS in addressing key topics in catalysis and uncovering crucial information about catalysts under reaction or catalytic conditions that other spectroscopy or microscopy techniques cannot. These advancements are expected to significantly benefit many fields in chemistry, chemical engineering, energy science, materials science, and environmental science. Applications of AP-XPS to study solid-liquid interfaces, especially at the electrode-electrolyte interface in electrochemical processes, are significant. These applications at solid-liquid interfaces include electrification-based chemical transformations, electrochemical CO2 reduction, water electrolysis, electrochemical reduction of oxidants on the cathode and even oxidation of fuels in fuel cell process, and oxidation and reduction processes in batteries. Further development of instrumentation and spectral methods of AP-XPS will be beneficial to energy conversion, sustainable chemical transformation, and environmental remediation as well as materials design for quantum computing hardware.

Abstract
On-purpose atomic scale design of catalytic sites, specifically active and selective at low temperature for a target reaction, is a key challenge. Here, we report teamed Pd1 and Mo1 single-atom sites that exhibit high activity and selectivity for anisole hydrodeoxygenation to benzene at low temperatures, 100-150 °C, where a Pd metal nanoparticle catalyst or a MoO3 nanoparticle catalyst is individually inactive. The catalysts built from Pd1 or Mo1 single-atom sites alone are much less effective, although the catalyst with Pd1 sites shows some activity but low selectivity. Similarly, less dispersed nanoparticle catalysts are much less effective. Computational studies show that the Pd1 and Mo1 single-atom sites activate H2 and anisole, respectively, and their combination triggers the hydrodeoxygenation of anisole in this low-temperature range. The Co3O4 support is inactive for anisole hydrodeoxygenation by itself but participates in the chemistry by transferring H atoms from Pd1 to the Mo1 site. This finding opens an avenue for designing catalysts active for a target reaction channel such as conversion of biomass derivatives at a low temperature where neither metal nor oxide nanoparticles are.

Abstract
To meet today's requirements, new active catalysts with reduced noble metal content are needed for hydrogen sensing. A palladium-functionalized nanostructured Ni0.5Co2.5O4 catalyst with a total Pd content of 4.2 wt% was synthesized by coprecipitation to obtain catalysts with an advantageous sheet-like morphology and surface defects. Due to the synthesis method and the reducible nature of Ni0.5Co2.5O4 enabling strong metal-metal oxide interactions, the palladium was highly distributed over the metal oxide surface, as determined using scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray investigations. The catalyst tested in planar pellistor sensors showed high sensitivity to hydrogen in the concentration range below the lower flammability limit (LFL). At 400 °C and in dry air, a sensor response of 109 mV/10,000 ppm hydrogen (25% of LFL) was achieved. The sensor signal was 4.6-times higher than the signal of pristine Ni0.5Co2.5O4 (24.6 mV/10,000 ppm). Under humid conditions, the sensor responses were reduced by ~10% for Pd-functionalized Ni0.5Co2.5O4 and by ~27% for Ni0.5Co2.5O4. The different cross-sensitivities of both catalysts to water are attributed to different activation mechanisms of hydrogen. The combination of high sensor sensitivity to hydrogen and high signal stability over time, as well as low cross-sensitivity to humidity, make the catalyst promising for further development steps.

Abstract
Lattice-oxygen activation has emerged as a popular strategy for optimizing the performance and selectivity of oxide-based thermocatalysis and electrolysis. However, the significance of lattice oxygen in oxide photocatalysts has been ignored, particularly in gas-solid reactions. Here, using methane oxidation over a Ru1@ZnO single-atom photocatalyst as the prototypical reaction and via 18O isotope labelling techniques, we found that lattice oxygen can directly participate in gas-solid reactions. Lattice oxygen played a dominant role in the photocatalytic reaction, as determined by estimating the kinetic constants in the initial stage. Furthermore, we discovered that dynamic diffusion between O2 and lattice oxygen proceeded even in the absence of targeted reactants. Finally, single-atom Ru can facilitate the activation of adsorbed O2 and the subsequent regeneration of consumed lattice oxygen, thus ensuring high catalyst activity and stability. The results provide guidance for next-generation oxide photocatalysts with improved activities and selectivities.

Lin J, Wu S, Tang C, Chen X, Zheng Y. Roles of different Ni-Si interactions in methane combustion under oscillating temperature conditions. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 668:512-524. [PMID: 38691961 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
The silicon- modified nickel oxide catalysts with the same compositions but distinct Ni-Si interactions were obtained via different synthesis routes and utilized for methane combustion under conditions of oscillating temperatures. For catalysts prepared by co-grinding, amorphous SiO2 was dispersed on the surface of large NiO crystallites. During high-temperature calcination or reactions, the crystallization of SiO2, coupled with the sintering or decomposition of NiO crystallites, led to the inferior catalytic activity and stability. Interactions between Ni and Si species were enhanced in catalysts synthesized by precipitation. The Si species was incorporated into the NiO lattice to inhibit the growth of NiO crystallites and to generate nickel silicate species under thermal treatments. The small NiO crystallites provided more Ni3+ and active oxygen species for methane activation and oxidation, while the bulk nickel silicate species played a pivotal role in improving thermal stability, conjointly provoking excellent catalytic performance in cyclic heating-cooling tests between 180 and 800 °C. This study offers new insights into the design of metal oxide composites for catalytic applications.

Abstract
Light-driven oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) for multi-carbon (C2+) product evolution is a promising approach toward the sustainable production of value-added chemicals, yet remains challenging due to its low intrinsic activity. Here, we demonstrate the integration of bismuth oxide (BiOx) and gold (Au) on titanium dioxide (TiO2) substrate to achieve a high conversion rate, product selectivity, and catalytic durability toward photocatalytic OCM through rational catalytic site engineering. Mechanistic investigations reveal that the lattice oxygen in BiOx is effectively activated as the localized oxidant to promote methane dissociation, while Au governs the methyl transfer to avoid undesirable overoxidation and promote carbon─carbon coupling. The optimal Au/BiOx-TiO2 hybrid delivers a conversion rate of 20.8 millimoles per gram per hour with C2+ product selectivity high to 97% in the flow reactor. More specifically, the veritable participation of lattice oxygen during OCM is chemically looped by introduced dioxygen via the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism, endowing superior catalyst stability.

Abstract
Multicomponent oxides are intriguing materials in heterogeneous catalysis, and the interface between various components often plays an essential role in oxidations. However, the underlying principles of how the hetero-interface affects the catalytic process remain largely unexplored. Here we report a unique structure design of MnCoOx catalysts by chemical reduction, specifically for ethane oxidation. Part of the Mn ions incorporates with Co oxides to form spinel MnxCo3-xO4, while the rests stay as MnO2 domains to create the MnO2-MnxCo3-xO4 interface. MnCoOx with Mn/Co ratio of 0.5 exhibits an excellent activity and stability up to 1000 h under humid conditions. The synergistic effects between MnO2 and MnxCo3-xO4 are elucidated, in which the C2H6 tends to be adsorbed on the interfacial Co sites and subsequently break the C-H bonds on the reactive lattice O of MnO2 layer. Findings from this study provide valuable insights for the rational design of efficient catalysts for alkane combustion.

Abstract
The present work deals with the development of Co3O4-based catalysts for potential application in catalytic gas sensors for methane (CH4) detection. Among the transition-metal oxide catalysts, Co3O4 exhibits the highest activity in catalytic combustion. Doping Co3O4 with another metal can further improve its catalytic performance. Despite their promising properties, Co3O4 materials have rarely been tested for use in catalytic gas sensors. In our study, the influence of catalyst morphology and Ni doping on the catalytic activity and thermal stability of Co3O4-based catalysts was analyzed by differential calorimetry by measuring the thermal response to 1% CH4. The morphology of two Co3O4 catalysts and two NixCo3-xO4 with a Ni:Co molar ratio of 1:2 and 1:5 was studied using scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The catalysts were synthesized by (co)precipitation with KOH solution. The investigations showed that Ni doping can improve the catalytic activity of Co3O4 catalysts. The thermal response of Ni-doped catalysts was increased by more than 20% at 400 °C and 450 °C compared to one of the studied Co3O4 oxides. However, the thermal response of the other Co3O4 was even higher than that of NixCo3-xO4 catalysts (8% at 400 °C). Furthermore, the modification of Co3O4 with Ni simultaneously brings stability problems at higher operating temperatures (≥400 °C) due to the observed inhomogeneous Ni distribution in the structure of NixCo3-xO4. In particular, the NixCo3-xO4 with high Ni content (Ni:Co ratio 1:2) showed apparent NiO separation and thus a strong decrease in thermal response of 8% after 24 h of heat treatment at 400 °C. The reaction of the Co3O4 catalysts remained quite stable. Therefore, controlling the structure and morphology of Co3O4 achieved more promising results, demonstrating its applicability as a catalyst for gas sensing.

Abstract
Methane emissions from vehicles have made a significant contribution to the greenhouse effect, primarily due to its high global warming potential. Supported noble metal catalysts are widely employed in catalytic combustion of methane in vehicles, but they still face challenges such as inadequate low-temperature activity and deactivation due to sintering under harsh operating conditions. In the present work, a series of encapsulated structured catalysts with palladium nanoparticles confined in hydrophobic silicalite-2 were prepared by an in situ synthesis method. Based on various characterization methods, including XRD, HR-TEM, XPS, H2-TPR, O2-TPD, H2O-TPD, CH4-TPR, Raman, and in situ DRIFTS-MS, it was confirmed that PdOx nanoparticles were mainly encapsulated inside the silicalite-2 zeolite, which further maintained the stability of the nanoparticles under harsh conditions. Specifically, the 3Pd@S-2 sample exhibited high catalytic activity for methane oxidation even after harsh hydrothermal aging at 750 °C for 16 h and maintained long-term stability at 400 °C for 130 h during wet methane combustion. In situ Raman spectroscopy has confirmed that PdOx species act as active species for methane oxidation. During this reaction, methane reacts with PdOx to produce CO2 and H2O, while simultaneously reducing PdOx to metallic Pd species, which is further reoxidized by oxygen to replenish the PdOx catalyst.

Abstract
Methane is the second largest contributor to global warming after CO2, and it is hard to abate due to its low concentration in the emission sources and in the atmosphere. However, removing methane from the atmosphere will accelerate achieving net-zero targets, since its global warming potential is 28 over a 100-year period. This work presents first-of-its-kind process concepts for co-removal of methane and CO2 that combines the catalytic conversion of methane step (thermal/photo-catalytic) with CO2 capture. Proposed processes have been analyzed for streams with lean methane concentrations, which are non-fossil emissions originating in the agricultural sector or natural emissions from wetlands. If the proposed processes can overcome challenges in catalyst/material design to convert methane at low concentrations, they have the potential to remove more than 40% of anthropogenic and natural methane emissions from the atmosphere at a lower energy penalty than the state-of-the-art technologies for direct air capture of CO2.

Abstract
The identification of appropriate structural genes that influence the active-site configuration for a given reaction is critical for discovering potential catalysts with reduced reaction barriers. In this study, we introduce bulk-phase topology-derived tetrahedral descriptors as a means of expressing a catalyst's "material structural genes". We combine this approach with an interpretable machine learning model to accurately and efficiently predict the effective barrier associated with methane C-H bond cleavage across a wide range of metal oxides (MOs). These structural genes enable high-throughput catalyst screening for low-temperature methane activation and ultimately identify 13 candidate catalysts from a pool of 9095 MOs that are recommended for experimental synthesis. The topology-based method that we describe can also be extended to facilitate high-throughput catalyst screening and design for other dehydrogenation reactions.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of methane is one of the most attractive routes for methane to chemicals. However, mechanistic understanding and avoiding over-oxidation have great challenges because of its very rapid reaction rate. Herein, a capillary micro-reaction system was introduced to monitor the initial stage of methane oxidation over platinum. For the first time, an induction period is observed, during which oxygenated intermediates, such as methanol, acetone, methyl methoxy acetate, etc., are detected. Induction period can be shortened by methane pretreatment at 600°C, which generates highly active species containing unsaturated bonds. Combined these findings and observations of in situ characterizations, the evolution route of methane oxidation over Pt is prosed, i.e., the reaction starts from the formation of initial species containing Pt-C bond, followed by the generation of oxygenated intermediates, and ended with the over-oxidation of the intermediates to CO/CO2.

Abstract
The catalytic combustion of methane at a low temperature is becoming increasingly key to controlling unburned CH4 emissions from natural gas vehicles and power plants, although the low activity of benchmark platinum-group-metal catalysts hinders its broad application. Based on automated reaction route mapping, we explore main-group elements catalysts containing Si and Al for low-temperature CH4 combustion with ozone. Computational screening of the active site predicts that strong Brønsted acid sites are promising for methane combustion. We experimentally demonstrate that catalysts containing strong Bronsted acid sites exhibit improved CH4 conversion at 250 °C, correlating with the theoretical predictions. The main-group catalyst (proton-type beta zeolite) delivered a reaction rate that is 442 times higher than that of a benchmark catalyst (5 wt% Pd-loaded Al2O3) at 190 °C and exhibits higher tolerance to steam and SO2. Our strategy demonstrates the rational design of earth-abundant catalysts based on automated reaction route mapping.

Abstract
Oxidative carbonylation of methane is an appealing approach to the synthesis of acetic acid but is limited by the demand for additional reagents. Here, we report a direct synthesis of CH3COOH solely from CH4 via photochemical conversion without additional reagents. This is made possible through the construction of the PdO/Pd-WO3 heterointerface nanocomposite containing active sites for CH4 activation and C-C coupling. In situ characterizations reveal that CH4 is dissociated into methyl groups on Pd sites while oxygen from PdO is the responsible for carbonyl formation. The cascade reaction between the methyl and carbonyl groups generates an acetyl precursor which is subsequently converted to CH3COOH. Remarkably, a production rate of 1.5 mmol gPd-1 h-1 and selectivity of 91.6% toward CH3COOH is achieved in a photochemical flow reactor. This work provides insights into intermediate control via material design, and opens an avenue to conversion of CH4 to oxygenates.

Abstract
Zeolites have ordered pore structures, good spatial constraints, and superior hydrothermal stability. In addition, the active metal elements inside and outside the zeolite framework provide the porous material with adjustable acid–base property and good redox performance. Thus, zeolites-based catalysts are more and more widely used in chemical industries. Combining the advantages of zeolites and active metal components, the zeolites-based materials are used to catalyze the oxidation of methane to produce various products, such as carbon dioxide, methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid, and etc. This multifunction, high selectivity, and good activity are the key factors that enable the zeolites-based catalysts to be used for methane activation and conversion. In this review article, we briefly introduce and discuss the effect of zeolite materials on the activation of C–H bonds in methane and the reaction mechanisms of complete methane oxidation and selective methane oxidation. Pd/zeolite is used for the complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide and water, and Fe- and Cu-zeolite catalysts are used for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, and etc. The prospects and challenges of zeolite-based catalysts in the future research work and practical applications are also envisioned. We hope that the outcome of this review can stimulate more researchers to develop more effective zeolite-based catalysts for the complete or selective oxidation of methane.

Abstract
Methyl halides are versatile platform molecules, which have been widely adopted as precursors for producing value-added chemicals and fuels. Despite their high importance, the green and economical synthesis of the methyl halides remains challenging. Here we demonstrate sustainable and efficient photocatalytic methane halogenation for methyl halide production over copper-doped titania using alkali halides as a widely available and noncorrosive halogenation agent. This approach affords a methyl halide production rate of up to 0.61 mmol h-1 m-2 for chloromethane or 1.08 mmol h-1 m-2 for bromomethane with a stability of 28 h, which are further proven transformable to methanol and pharmaceutical intermediates. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such a reaction can also operate solely using seawater and methane as resources, showing its high practicability as general technology for offshore methane exploitation. This work opens an avenue for the sustainable utilization of methane from various resources and toward designated applications.

Abstract
Modified NiO catalysts with controllable vacancies and dopants are promising for alkene production from oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes, and a molecular understanding of the modification on elementary reaction steps would facilitate the design of highly efficient catalysts and catalytic processes. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations was used to map out the complete reaction pathways of propane ODH on the NiO (100) surfaces with different modifiers. The results demonstrated that the presence of vacancies (O and Ni) and dopants (Li and Al) alters the electrophilicity of surface oxygen species, which in turn affects the reactivity towards C-H bond activation and the overall catalytic activity and selectivity. The strongly electrophilic O favors a radical mechanism for the first C-H activation on O followed by the second C-H activation on O-O site, whereas weak electrophilic O favors concerted C-H bond breaking over Ni-O site. The C-H bond activation proceeds through a late transition state, characterized by the almost completion of the O-H bond formation. Consequently, the adsorption energy of H adatom on O rather than p-band center or Bader charge of O has been identified to be an accurate descriptor to predict the activation barrier for C-H breaking (activity) as well as the difference between the activation barriers of propene and CH3 CCH3 (selectivity) of ODH.

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.

Abstract
Photocatalytic nonoxidative coupling of CH4 to multicarbon (C2+) hydrocarbons (e.g., C2H4) and H2 under ambient conditions provides a promising energy-conserving approach for utilization of carbon resource. However, as the methyl intermediates prefer to undergo self-coupling to produce ethane, it is a challenging task to control the selective conversion of CH4 to higher value-added C2H4. Herein, we adopt a synergistic catalysis strategy by integrating Pd-Zn active sites on visible light-responsive defective WO3 nanosheets for synergizing the adsorption, activation, and dehydrogenation processes in CH4 to C2H4 conversion. Benefiting from the synergy, our model catalyst achieves a remarkable C2+ compounds yield of 31.85 μmol·g-1·h-1 with an exceptionally high C2H4 selectivity of 75.3% and a stoichiometric H2 evolution. In situ spectroscopic studies reveal that the Zn sites promote the adsorption and activation of CH4 molecules to generate methyl and methoxy intermediates with the assistance of lattice oxygen, while the Pd sites facilitate the dehydrogenation of methoxy to methylene radicals for producing C2H4 and suppress overoxidation. This work demonstrates a strategy for designing efficient photocatalysts toward selective coupling of CH4 to higher value-added chemicals and highlights the importance of synergistic active sites to the synergy of key steps in catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Probing surface chemistry during reactions closer to realistic conditions is crucial for the understanding of mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis. Near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) is one of the state-of-the-art surface-sensitive techniques used to characterize catalyst surfaces in gas phases. This Perspective begins with a brief overview of the development of the NAP-XPS technique and its representative applications in identifying the active sites at a molecular level. Next, recent in situ NAP-XPS investigations of several model catalysts in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction are mainly discussed. Finally, we highlight the major challenges facing NAP-XPS and future improvements to facilities for probing intermediates with higher resolutions under real ambient pressure reactions in heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
Methane (CH4) is one of the cleanest fossil fuel resources and is playing an increasingly indispensable role in our way to carbon neutrality, by providing less carbon-intensive heat and electricity worldwide. On the other hand, the atmospheric concentration of CH4 has raced past 1,900 ppb in 2021, almost triple its pre-industrial levels. As a greenhouse gas at least 86 times as potent as carbon dioxide (CO2) over 20 years, CH4 is becoming a major threat to the global goal of deviating Earth temperature from the +2°C scenario. Consequently, all CH4-powered facilities must be strictly coupled with remediation plans for unburned CH4 in the exhaust to avoid further exacerbating the environmental stress, among which catalytic CH4 combustion (CMC) is one of the most effective strategies to solve this issue. Most current CMC catalysts are noble-metal-based owing to their outstanding C–H bond activation capability, while their high cost and poor thermal stability have driven the search for alternative options, among which transition metal oxide (TMO) catalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their Earth abundance, high thermal stability, variable oxidation states, rich acidic and basic sites, etc. To date, many TMO catalysts have shown comparable catalytic performance with that of noble metals, while their fundamental reaction mechanisms are explored to a much less extent and remain to be controversial, which hinders the further optimization of the TMO catalytic systems. Therefore, in this review, we provide a systematic compilation of the recent research advances in TMO-based CMC reactions, together with their detailed reaction mechanisms. We start with introducing the scientific fundamentals of the CMC reaction itself as well as the unique and desirable features of TMOs applied in CMC, followed by a detailed introduction of four different kinetic reaction models proposed for the reactions. Next, we categorize the TMOs of interests into single and hybrid systems, summarizing their specific morphology characterization, catalytic performance, kinetic properties, with special emphasis on the reaction mechanisms and interfacial properties. Finally, we conclude the review with a summary and outlook on the TMOs for practical CMC applications. In addition, we also further prospect the enormous potentials of TMOs in producing value-added chemicals beyond combustion, such as direct partial oxidation to methanol.

Abstract
Nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM) is a highly important process to simultaneously produce multicarbons and hydrogen. Although oxide-based photocatalysis opens opportunities for NOCM at mild condition, it suffers from unsatisfying selectivity and durability, due to overoxidation of CH4 with lattice oxygen. Here, we propose a heteroatom engineering strategy for highly active, selective and durable photocatalytic NOCM. Demonstrated by commonly used TiO2 photocatalyst, construction of Pd-O4 in surface reduces contribution of O sites to valence band, overcoming the limitations. In contrast to state of the art, 94.3% selectivity is achieved for C2H6 production at 0.91 mmol g-1 h-1 along with stoichiometric H2 production, approaching the level of thermocatalysis at relatively mild condition. As a benchmark, apparent quantum efficiency reaches 3.05% at 350 nm. Further elemental doping can elevate durability over 24 h by stabilizing lattice oxygen. This work provides new insights for high-performance photocatalytic NOCM by atomic engineering.

Abstract
Climate action scenarios that limit changes in global temperature to less than 1.5 °C require methane controls, yet there are no abatement technologies effective for the treatment of low-level methane. Here, we describe the use of a biomimetic copper zeolite capable of converting atmospheric- and low-level methane at relatively low temperatures (e.g., 200-300 °C) in simulated air. Depending on the duty cycle, 40%, over 60%, or complete conversion could be achieved (via a two-step process at 450 °C activation and 200 °C reaction or a short and long activation under isothermal 310 °C conditions, respectively). Improved performance at longer activation was attributed to active site evolution, as determined by X-ray diffraction. The conversion rate increased over a range of methane concentrations (0.00019-2%), indicating the potential to abate methane from any sub-flammable stream. Finally, the uncompromised catalyst turnover for 300 h in simulated air illustrates the promise of using low-cost, earth-abundant materials to mitigate methane and slow the pace of climate change.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrate (NO3-) reduction not only generates high-value ammonia (NH3) but holds significant potential in the control of NO3- contaminants in natural environments. Here, a bimetallic FeCo2O4 spinel nanowire array grown on carbon cloth is proposed as an efficient electrocatalyst for the conversion of NO3- to NH3 with a high faradaic efficiency of up to 95.9% and a large NH3 yield of 4988 μg h-1 cm-2. Furthermore, it also exhibits excellent stability during 16 h electrolysis.

Abstract
Catalytic oxidation is a promising method for removing harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Therefore, exploring high-efficiency catalysts for catalyzing VOCs is of great significance to the realization of an environment-friendly and sustainable society. Here, a series of 3D@2D constructed Al2O3@CoMn2O4 microspheres with a hollow hierarchical structure supporting Pd nanoparticles was successfully synthesized. The introduction of hollow Al2O3 for the in situ vertical growth of 2D CMO spinel materials constructs a well-defined core - shell hollow hierarchical structure, leading to larger specific surface area, more accessible active sites and promoted catalytic activity of support material. Additionally, theoretical calculations also indicate that the addition of Al2O3 as the support material strengthens the adsorption of toluene and oxygen on CoMn2O4, which promotes their activation. The dispersion of Pd further strengthens the low-temperature reducibility along with more active surface oxygen species and lower apparent activation energy. The optimum 1 wt% Pd/h-Al@4CMO catalyst possesses the lowest apparent activation energy for toluene of 77.4 kJ mol-1, showing the relatively best catalytic activity for VOC oxidation, reaching 100% toluene, benzene, and ethyl acetate conversion at 165, 160, and 155 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, the 1 wt% Pd/h-Al@4CMO sample possesses excellent catalytic stability, outstanding selectivity, and good moisture tolerance, which is an effective candidate for eliminating VOCs contaminants.

Abstract
In the last few decades, worldwide scientists have been motivated by the promising production of chemicals from the widely existing methane (CH4) under mild conditions for both chemical synthesis with low energy consumption and climate remediation. To achieve this goal, a whole library of catalytic chemistries of transforming CH4 to various products under mild conditions is required to be developed. Worldwide scientists have made significant efforts to reach this goal. These significant efforts have demonstrated the feasibility of oxidation of CH4 to value-added intermediate compounds including but not limited to CH3OH, HCHO, HCOOH, and CH3COOH under mild conditions. The fundamental understanding of these chemical and catalytic transformations of CH4 under mild conditions have been achieved to some extent, although currently neither a catalyst nor a catalytic process can be used for chemical production under mild conditions at a large scale. In the academic community, over ten different reactions have been developed for converting CH4 to different types of oxygenates under mild conditions in terms of a relatively low activation or catalysis temperature. However, there is still a lack of a molecular-level understanding of the activation and catalysis processes performed in extremely complex reaction environments under mild conditions. This article reviewed the fundamental understanding of these activation and catalysis achieved so far. Different oxidative activations of CH4 or catalytic transformations toward chemical production under mild conditions were reviewed in parallel, by which the trend of developing catalysts for a specific reaction was identified and insights into the design of these catalysts were gained. As a whole, this review focused on discussing profound insights gained through endeavors of scientists in this field. It aimed to present a relatively complete picture for the activation and catalytic transformations of CH4 to chemicals under mild conditions. Finally, suggestions of potential explorations for the production of chemicals from CH4 under mild conditions were made. The facing challenges to achieve high yield of ideal products were highlighted and possible solutions to tackle them were briefly proposed.

Abstract
Perovskites have been recognized as affordable substitutes for noble-metal catalysts for their tunable catalytic activity and thermal stability. Nevertheless, the highly demanding synthesis procedure still hinders the application of perovskites in catalytic combustion. In this work, a series of nanostructured SiTiO3 perovskites with B-site partial substitution by Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Cu are synthesized via flame spray pyrolysis in one step. The comprehensive characterizations on textural properties of nanostructured perovskites reveal that the flame-made perovskite nanoparticles all exhibit high crystal purity and large specific surface area (∼40 m2/g). Furthermore, the highest catalytic activity is achieved by SrTi0.5Co0.5O3 due to the formation of favorable oxygen vacancies, outstanding reducibility, and oxygen desorption capability. Additionally, the presence of 10 vol % water vapor during long-term testing indicates remarkable durability and water resistance. Finally, the CO oxidation and CH4 dehydrogenation on SrTiO3 incorporating Co atoms are more thermodynamically and kinetically favorable than those on other doped surfaces.
