Reactivity of Group 5 and 6 Single-Site Photocatalysts for Partial Oxidation of Methane: Comparison of Chromium, Niobium, and Tungsten-Doped Mesoporous Amorphous Silica
Abstract:Single-site transition-metal-doped photocatalysts can potentially be used for partial oxidation of methane (POM) at remote sites where natural gas is extracted and methane is often flared or released to the atmosphere. While there have been several investigations into the performance of vanadium, there has been no general survey of the performance of other metals. This work aims and examines Cr, Nb, and W metal oxide materials embedded in amorphous SiO 2 to determine the viability of each metal in catalyzing t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
