“…In addition, the authors concluded that two kinds of Cu monomers (i.e., Cu 2+ and CuOH + ) coexist in Cu-MOR, but only the latter is CH 4reactive. 23 Whether the Cu 2+ site acts only as a spectator (redox-inert) 38,39 or also plays a primary 40 42 However, in contrast to the findings by Sushkevich et al, 23 this CuOH monomer has been reported to be less reactive than the Cu 2 O dimer. 42 Another example of Cu monomer, i.e., Cu single atom catalyst on different supports, [43][44][45] was also reported to be active for the CH 4 oxidation to CH 3 OH.…”
