The design of heterogeneous catalysts relies on understanding the fundamental surface
kinetics that controls catalyst performance, and microkinetic modeling is a tool that can help …

A heterogeneous catalyst is a functional material that continually creates active sites with its
reactants under reaction conditions. These sites change the rates of chemical reactions of …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in catalytic processes to convert methane (a major
component of natural gas) to more valuable hydrocarbons as fuels or chemicals. The scope …

Heterogeneous metal oxide catalysts are widely studied for the aerobic oxidations of C1–C4
alkanes to form olefins and oxygenates. In this review, we outline the properties of supported …

Direct selective conversion of methane to C2-hydrocarbons, methanol or aromatics
represents a formidable challenge to catalysis. This has become more and more evident …

The presence of a dataset that covers a parametric space of materials and process
conditions in a process-consistent manner is essential for the realization of catalyst …

Natural gas, the cleanest fossil fuel, is an abundant source of methane and expected to play
an increasingly important role in powering the world's economic growth over the energy …

Catalytic upgrading of methane in natural gas and/or shale gas via oxidative methane
coupling (OMC) is an important option tailored by industry for meeting the global ethylene …

This paper addresses the options developed over the past two decades for the conversion of
methane into valuable chemicals and fuels while avoiding the high energy requirements of …

Over the last several decades, extensive research has focused on the direct conversion of
methane to alcohols or higher hydrocarbons. Research in this field has intensified in recent …
