As the world pledges to significantly cut carbon emissions, the demand for sustainable and
clean energy has now become more important than ever. This includes both production and …

Despite the large number of disparate approaches for the direct selective partial oxidation of
methane, none of them has translated into an industrial process. The oxidation of methane …

Replacement of part of the fossil fuel consumption by renewable energy, in particular in the
chemical industry, is a central strategy for resource and energy efficiency. This perspective …

Electrochemical transition metal catalysis is a powerful strategy for organic synthesis
because it obviates the use of stoichiometric chemical oxidants and reductants. C–H bond …

The continuous consumption of fossil fuels causes two important impediments including
emission of large concentrations of CO 2 resulting in global warming and alarming utilization …

Oxidation catalysis not only plays a crucial role in the current chemical industry for the
production of key intermediates such as alcohols, epoxides, aldehydes, ketones and organic …

The conversion of methane to upgraded fuels and higher-value chemicals such as
hydrogen, methanol, and olefins is a promising technology in the supply of chemicals and …

Conspectus In the recent years methane has become increasingly abundant. However,
transportation costs are high and methane recovered as side product is often flared rather …

Direct methane conversion into value-added products has become increasingly important.
Because of inertness of methane, cleaving the first C–H bond has been very difficult …

Natural gas is an important energy resource for electric power generation and other energy
needs. Recent discoveries of vast reserves of shale gas greatly increased its abundance …
