Abstract
This review summarizes the latest discoveries in the field of C-H activation by copper monoxygenases and more particularly by their bioinspired systems. This work first describes the recent background on copper-containing enzymes along with additional interpretations about the nature of the active copper-oxygen intermediates. It then focuses on relevant examples of bioinorganic synthetic copper-oxygen intermediates according to their nuclearity (mono to polynuclear). This includes a detailed description of the spectroscopic features of these adducts as well as their reactivity towards the oxidation of recalcitrant Csp3 -H bonds. The last part is devoted to the significant expansion of heterogeneous catalytic systems based on copper-oxygen cores (i.e. within zeolite frameworks).

Abstract
The continuous catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol on a Cu-KFI zeolite using water-O2 mixture as the oxidant is reported. A high methanol space-time yield of 880.3 mmol molCu-1 h-1 with 83% selectivity is achieved at 450 °C. Isotopic labelling experiments show that both H2O and O2 provide the oxygen source in this catalytic methane-to-methanol conversion reaction.

Abstract
Methane and carbon dioxide are the main contributors to global warming, with the methane effect being 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. Although the sources of methane are diverse, it is a very volatile and explosive gas. One way to store the energy content of methane is through its conversion to methanol. Methanol is a liquid under ambient conditions, easy to transport, and, apart from its use as an energy source, it is a chemical platform that can serve as a starting material for the production of various higher-value products. Accordingly, the transformation of methane to methanol has been extensively studied in the literature, using traditional catalysts as different types of zeolites. However, in the last few years, a new generation of catalysts has emerged to carry out this transformation with higher conversion and selectivity, and more importantly, under mild temperature and pressure conditions. These new catalysts typically involve the use of a highly porous supporting material such as zeolite, or more recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and graphene, and metallic nanoparticles or a combination of different types of nanoparticles that are the core of the catalytic process. In this review, recent advances in the porous supports for nanoparticles used for methane oxidation to methanol under mild conditions are discussed.

Abstract
The methane-to-methanol (MtM) conversion via the oxygen looping approach using copper-exchanged zeolites has been extensively studied over the last decade. While a lot of research has focussed on maximizing yield and selectivity, little has been directed toward productivity-a metric far more meaningful for evaluating industrial potential. Using copper-exchanged zeolite omega (Cu-omega), a material highly active and selective for the MtM conversion using the isothermal oxygen looping approach, we show that this material exhibits unprecedented potential for industrial valorization. In doing so, we also present a novel methodology combining operando XAS and mass spectrometry for the screening of materials for the MtM conversion in oxygen looping mode.

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.
