Alkanes are the major constituents of natural gas and crude oil, the feedstocks for the
chemical industry. The efficient and selective activation of C–H bonds can convert abundant …

The global initiatives on sustainable and green energy resources as well as large methane
reserves have encouraged more research to convert methane to hydrogen. Catalytic …

While the search for catalysts capable of directly converting methane to higher value
commodity chemicals and liquid fuels has been active for over a century, a viable industrial …

Methane undergoes highly facile C–H bond cleavage on the stoichiometric IrO2 (110)
surface. From temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy experiments, we found that …

Replacing traditional fossil fuels with sustainable and clean energy has been imperative in
order to address the occurrent energy and environmental crises. During this foreseen global …

Shale gas is the main source and reservoir of natural gas, and contains a small fraction of
ethane and propane. Along with the increasing exploitation scale, shale gas has the …

Effective catalysts for the direct conversion of methane to methanol and for methane's dry
reforming to syngas are Holy Grails of catalysis research toward clean energy technologies …

Abstract Bimetallic Pd/Pt catalysts have recently attracted considerable attention in
controlling emission control of methane. Here, we show the impact of Pd/Pt ratio (1: 0, 9: 1, 3 …

A high-efficiency after-treatment technology has been required to meet the increasingly
stringent regulations on the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x), hydrocarbons (HCs), and …

A two-site mean field extended microkinetic model was developed based on DFT data to
investigate the methane oxidation reaction over PdO (1 0 1) for environmental applications …
