Abstract

Studies on the utilization of methane, the main component of natural gas, are of significant importance both in industry and catalytic science. Considerable interest has been concentrated on the production of higher hydrocarbons from methane, especially the oxidative coupling of methane to ethylene and ethane1–2. Although several promising catalysts have been discovered, it is difficult to obtain high activity and high C2- hydrocarbons selectivity simultaneously as the activation of methane molecules and the deep oxidation of intermediates usually occur at the same reaction conditions. Therefore, the search for more effective catalysts and the investigation of the activation of methane are still great challenges to catalytic science.
