Abstract
The stoichiometric conversion of methane to methanol by Cu-exchanged zeolites can be brought to highest yields by the presence of extraframework Al and high CH4 chemical potentials. Combining theory and experiments, the differences in chemical reactivity of monometallic Cu-oxo and bimetallic Cu-Al-oxo nanoclusters stabilized in zeolite mordenite (MOR) are investigated. Cu-L3 edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), infrared (IR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopies, in combination with CH4 oxidation activity tests, support the presence of two types of active clusters in MOR and allow quantification of the relative proportions of each type in dependence of the Cu concentration. Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) calculations and thermodynamic analyses indicate that the superior performance of materials enriched in Cu-Al-oxo clusters is related to the activity of two μ-oxo bridges in the cluster. Replacing H2O with ethanol in the product extraction step led to the formation of ethyl methyl ether, expanding this way the applicability of these materials for the activation and functionalization of CH4. We show that competition between different ion-exchanged metal-oxo structures during the synthesis of Cu-exchanged zeolites determines the formation of active species, and this provides guidelines for the synthesis of highly active materials for CH4 activation and functionalization.

Abstract
The direct oxidation of low-concentration methane to value-added chemicals can not only reduce carbon emission but also provide an alternative production route for fossil fuels. Herein, we proposed a novel catalyst for the direct oxidation of low-concentration methane to methanol via the impregnation method, which selected copper and zinc as co-modifiers to modify the MOR catalyst. The highest methanol yield of 71.35 μmol·gcat-1·h-1 was obtained over a bimetallic Cu0.5Zn0.35-MOR catalyst. The catalyst retained good activity after three cycles of testing experiments, indicating good recyclability. Based on the results of performance tests and characterization studies, it was confirmed that Cu species bound to the zeolite framework were the main active sites for methane oxidation. The introduction of Zn decreased the generation of the octahedrally coordinated extra-framework aluminum, which promoted the dispersion of Cu within the zeolite framework. In other words, more tetrahedrally coordinated FAl-stabilized Cu species were presented in our CuZn-MOR catalyst system in comparison to the monometallic Cu-MOR catalyst. Benefiting from the aforementioned modification, the agglomerative sintering of the metal during the reaction was effectively prevented. This work may provide a feasible guide for the future optimization of Cu-based catalysts designed for the selective oxidation of methane.

Abstract
Copper decorated zeolites are promising candidates for the partial oxidation of methane to generate methanol with elevated energy density, nevertheless, the modulation and possible synergism between multiple Cu active sites still need to be delved in depth. Here, ZSM-5 catalysts with modulated Cu motifs were proposed using copper oxysalts as precursors through a calcination process. By modifying the contents of copper oxysalts precursors, the Cu active sites varied, and a unique M shaped trend of CH3OH productivity emerged. Attributed to the synergetic effects of CuxOy nanoparticles (adsorbing CH4 and generating *OCH3 species) and Cu-OH motif (binding CH4 and forming Si···CH3), a maximum CH3OH yield of 15975.73 μmol/gcat/h (with CH3OOH yield of 2155.59 μmol/gcat/h) and methyl oxygenates selectivity up to 72.79 % could be achieved. This work paved an efficient, low cost, and succinct way for the manufacture of catalysts with tunable active sites and high performance over methane to methanol conversion.

Abstract
Gaseous arsenic emitted from coal combustion flue gas (CCFG) causes not only severe contamination of the environment but also the failure of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts in power plants. Development of inexpensive and effective adsorbents or techniques for the removal of arsenic from high-temperature CCFG is crucial. In this study, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) at low price were modified with CuCl2 (CuCl2-HNTs) through ultrasound assistance and applied for capturing As2O3(g) in simulated flue gas (SFG). Experiments on arsenic adsorption performance, adsorption mechanism, and adsorption energy based on density functional theory were performed. Modification with CuCl2 clearly enhanced the arsenic uptake capacity (approximately 12.3 mg/g) at 600 °C for SFG. The adsorbent exhibited favorable tolerance to high concentrations of NOx and SOx. The As2O3(III) was oxidized and transformed into As2O5(V) on the CuCl2-HNTs. The Al-O bridge had the highest adsorption energy for the O end of the As-O group (-2.986 eV), and the combination formed between arsenic-containing groups and aluminum was stable. In addition, the captured arsenic could be stabilized in the sorbent at high temperature, making it possible to use the sorbent before the SCR system. This demonstrates that CuCl2-HNTs is a promising sorbent for arsenic oxidation and removal from CCFG.

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
Here, we analyze changes in the optical spectra of activated copper-exchanged zeolites during methane activation with the Tamm-Dancoff time-dependent density functional theory, TDA-DFT, while using the ωB2PLYP functional. Two active sites, [Cu2O]2+ and [Cu3O3]2+, were studied. For [Cu2O]+, the 22 700 cm-1 peak is associated with μ-oxo 2p → Cu 3d/4s charge transfer. Of the [Cu2O]2+ methane C-H activation intermediates that we examined, only [Cu-O(H)(H)-Cu] and [Cu-O(H)(CH3)-Cu] have spectra that match experimental observations. After methane activation, the μ-oxo 2p orbitals lose two electrons and become hybridized with methanol C 2p orbitals and/or H 1s orbitals. The frontier unoccupied orbitals become more Cu 4s/4p Rydberg-like, reducing overlap with occupied orbitals. These effects cause the disappearance of the 22 700 cm-1 peak. For [Cu3O3]2+, the exact structures of the species formed after methane activation are unknown. Thus, we considered eight possible structures. Several of these provide a significant decrease in intensity near 23 000-38 000 cm-1, as seen experimentally. Notably, these species involve either rebound of the separated methyl to a μ-oxo atom or its remote stabilization at a Brønsted acid site in exchange for the acidic proton. These spectral changes are caused by the same mechanism seen in [Cu2O]2+ and are likely responsible for the observed reduced intensities near 23 000-38 000 cm-1. Thus, TDA-DFT calculations with ωB2PLYP provide a molecular-level understanding of the evolution of copper-oxo active sites during methane-to-methanol conversion.

Abstract
Copper-exchanged zeolites of different topologies possess high activity in the direct conversion of methane to methanol via the chemical looping approach. Despite a large number of studies, identification of the active sites, and especially their intrinsic kinetic characteristics remain incomplete and ambiguous. In the present work, we collate the kinetic behavior of different copper species with their spectroscopic identities and track the evolution of various copper motifs during the reaction. Using time-resolved UV/Vis and in situ EPR, XAS, and FTIR spectroscopies, two types of copper monomers were identified, one of which is active in the reaction with methane, in addition to a copper dimeric species with the mono-μ-oxo structure. Kinetic measurements showed that the reaction rate of the copper monomers is somewhat slower than that of the dicopper mono-μ-oxo species, while the activation energy is two times lower.

Abstract
The direct functionalization of methane into platform chemicals is arguably one of the holy grails in chemistry. The actual active sites for methane activation are intensively debated. By correlating a wide variety of characterization results with catalytic performance data we have been able to identify mononuclear Fe species as the active site in the Fe/ZSM-5 zeolites for the mild oxidation of methane with H2O2 at 50 °C. The 0.1% Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst with dominant mononuclear Fe species possess an excellent turnover rate (TOR) of 66 molMeOH molFe−1 h−1, approximately 4 times higher compared to the state-of-the-art dimer-containing Fe/ZSM-5 catalysts. Based on a series of advanced in situ spectroscopic studies and 1H- and 13C- nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), we found that methane activation initially proceeds on the Fe site of mononuclear Fe species. With the aid of adjacent Brønsted acid sites (BAS), methane can be first oxidized to CH3OOH and CH3OH, and then subsequently converted into HOCH2OOH and consecutively into HCOOH. These findings will facilitate the search towards new metal-zeolite combinations for the activation of C–H bonds in various hydrocarbons, for light alkanes and beyond. The monomeric Fe species in Fe/ZSM-5 have been identified as the intrinsic active sites for the low-temperature methane oxidation.![]()

Abstract
C1 chemistry, which is the catalytic transformation of C1 molecules including CO, CO2 , CH4 , CH3 OH, and HCOOH, plays an important role in providing energy and chemical supplies while meeting environmental requirements. Zeolites are highly efficient solid catalysts used in the chemical industry. The design and development of zeolite-based mono-, bi-, and multifunctional catalysts has led to a booming application of zeolite-based catalysts to C1 chemistry. Combining the advantages of zeolites and metallic catalytic species has promoted the catalytic production of various hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, light olefins, aromatics, and liquid fuels) and oxygenates (e.g., methanol, dimethyl ether, formic acid, and higher alcohols) from C1 molecules. The key zeolite descriptors that influence catalytic performance, such as framework topologies, nanoconfinement effects, Brønsted acidities, secondary-pore systems, particle sizes, extraframework cations and atoms, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, and proximity between acid and metallic sites are discussed to provide a deep understanding of the significance of zeolites to C1 chemistry. An outlook regarding challenges and opportunities for the conversion of C1 resources using zeolite-based catalysts to meet emerging energy and environmental demands is also presented.

Abstract
Copper-exchanged zeolites are a class of redox-active materials that find application in the selective catalytic reduction of exhaust gases of diesel vehicles and, more recently, the selective oxidation of methane to methanol. However, the structure of the active copper-oxo species present in zeolites under oxidative environments is still a subject of debate. Herein, we make a comprehensive study of copper species in copper-exchanged zeolites with MOR, MFI, BEA, and FAU frameworks and for different Si/Al ratios and copper loadings using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Only obtaining high quality EXAFS data, collected at large k-values and measured under cryogenic conditions, in combination with wavelet transform analysis enables the discrimination between the copper-oxo species having different structures. The zeolite topology strongly affects the copper speciation, ranging from monomeric copper species to copper-oxo clusters, hosted in zeolites of different topologies. In contrast, the variation of the Si/Al ratio or copper loading in mordenite does not lead to significant differences in XAS spectra, suggesting that a change, if any, in the structure of copper species in these materials is not distinguishable by EXAFS. The structure of copper-oxo species hosted in zeolites of various topology has been examined using wavelet and Fourier transform analysis of Cu K-edge EXAFS spectra.![]()

Abstract
PtCu- and PdCu-mordenite allow for isothermal reaction at 200 °C for the stepwise methane to methanol conversion with comparably high yields. In contrast to traditional Cu-zeolites, these materials are more reactive under isothermal conditions than after high temperature activation.
