Abstract
Iron-containing zeolite-based catalysts play a pivotal role in environmental processes aimed at mitigating the release of harmful greenhouse gases, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). Despite the rich iron chemistry in zeolites, only a fraction of iron species that exhibit an open coordination sphere and possess the ability for electron transfer are responsible for activating reagents. In addition, the splitting of molecular oxygen is facilitated by bare iron cations embedded in zeolitic matrices. Mössbauer spectroscopy is the ideal tool for investigating the valency and geometry of iron species in zeolites because it leaves no iron forms silent and provides insights into in-situ processes. This review is dedicated to the utilization of Mössbauer spectroscopy to elucidate the nature of the extra-framework iron centers in ferrierite (FER), beta-structured (*BEA), and ZSM-5 zeolite (MFI) zeolites, which are active in N2O decomposition and CH4 oxidation through using the active oxygen derived from N2O and O2. In this work, a structured summary of the Mössbauer parameters established over the last two decades is presented, characterizing the specific iron active centers and intermediates formed upon iron's interaction with N2O/O2 and CH4. Additionally, the impact of preparation methods, iron loading, and the long-term stability on iron speciation and its redox behavior under reaction conditions is discussed.

Abstract
The direct transformation of methane to methanol remains a significant challenge for operation at a larger scale. Central to this challenge is the low reactivity of methane at conditions that can facilitate product recovery. This review discusses the issue through examination of several promising routes to methanol and an evaluation of performance targets that are required to develop the process at scale. We explore the methods currently used, the emergence of active heterogeneous catalysts and their design and reaction mechanisms and provide a critical perspective on future operation. Initial experiments are discussed where identification of gas phase radical chemistry limited further development by this approach. Subsequently, a new class of catalytic materials based on natural systems such as iron or copper containing zeolites were explored at milder conditions. The key issues of these technologies are low methane conversion and often significant overoxidation of products. Despite this, interest remains high in this reaction and the wider appeal of an effective route to key products from C-H activation, particularly with the need to transition to net carbon zero with new routes from renewable methane sources is exciting.

Abstract
Methane is an abundant resource and its direct conversion into value-added chemicals has been an attractive subject for its efficient utilization. This method can be more efficient than the present energy-intensive indirect conversion of methane via syngas, a mixture of CO and H2. Among the various approaches for direct methane conversion, the selective oxidation of methane into methane oxygenates (e.g., methanol and formaldehyde) is particularly promising because it can proceed at low temperatures. Nevertheless, due to low product yields this method is challenging. Compared with the liquid-phase partial oxidation of methane, which frequently demands for strong oxidizing agents in protic solvents, gas-phase selective methane oxidation has some merits, such as the possibility of using oxygen as an oxidant and the ease of scale-up owing to the use of heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, we summarize recent advances in the gas-phase partial oxidation of methane into methane oxygenates, focusing mainly on its conversion into formaldehyde and methanol.

Abstract
Understanding the factors that influence the activity of a catalyst toward CH4 activation is of high importance for tuning the catalyst performance or designing new, better catalysts. Here, we performed a set of density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the H-CH3 bond cleavage over the Cu-O-Cu active site in the MOR zeolite with various Al-pair arrangements to obtain molecular insight into the structure-activity relation and clarify key parameters that define the Cu-O-Cu reactivity toward CH4. We found that weakening of the Cu-O-Cu bond during CH4 activation is crucial for determining the O-H bond strength and thus the Cu-O-Cu reactivity. In this regard, the zeolite lattice constraints are found to play a significant role as, on the one hand, it strengthens the Cu⋯Cu interaction and consequently weakens the Cu-O-Cu bonds and, on the other hand, it forces the Cu-O-Cu bond elongation process to destabilize the active site structure. The non-planar Cu-O-Cu geometry, due to lattice constraints, is also found to make the CH4 adsorption site, whether positioned closer to the μ-O or the Cu atom, crucial in determining the C-H activation product, i.e., a ˙CH3 radical or a Cu2-CH3- ligand.

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
Zeolite mordenite (MOR) is one of the most studied zeolites for the stepwise direct conversion of methane to methanol, but it also can exist in two forms: large port and small port. Here we report that the synthesis and selection of the parent mordenite is critical for optimizing productivity, and that large-port mordenite outperforms small-port mordenite for the stepwise conversion of methane to methanol. The synthesis and selection of large-port mordenite is critical for optimizing productivity for the direct conversion of methane to methanol.![]()

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
The development of an effective approach for methane utilization, especially methane conversion to methanol, is a crucial challenge that has remained unsolved satisfactorily. Herein, we propose an alternative concept of methane utilization to methanol over Fe-ZSM-5@ZIF-8. The concept is to use the designed composite as a dual catalyst in which ZIF-8 and Fe-ZSM-5 act simultaneously as a gas adsorbent and catalyst, respectively. In this case, methane can be adsorbed on ZIF-8 at 50 °C and subsequently converted to methanol at a moderate temperature (150 °C) on Fe-ZSM-5. Interestingly, the promising catalytic performance is observed on Fe-ZSM-5@ZIF-8, whereas only trace amounts of produced methanol are detected on isolated Fe-ZSM-5 and ZIF-8. Moreover, the designed composite also facilitates a facile methanol desorption at the hydrophobic surface of the composite. This first example opens up new promising horizons in combined perspectives for gas storage and catalytic process applications.
