Abstract:Due to the high stability and chemical inertia of methane, CH 4 , its selective conversion into value-added organic chemicals under mild conditions has been widely regarded as an important reaction for the chemical industry. Here, we develop a RuO x decorated ZnO/CeO 2 photocatalyst for the highly efficient and selective transformation of CH 4 into CH 3 OH under simulated solar light irradiation. The CH 3 OH generation rate over the optimized RuO x /ZnO/CeO 2 composite is 133.54 μmol g −1 h −1 with 97.7% selec… Show more

“…41,42 Fortunately, transition metal oxides have been considered as one of the best candidates for effectively extracting holes and constructing hole transport channels. [43][44][45][46] Among them, CoO x has attracted the interest of many researchers in practical application on account of its high efficiency, affordable cost, and earth abundance. Li et al demonstrated that the CoO x cocatalyst could effectively capture holes in a few picoseconds and dramatically prolong the lifetime of photogenerated holes.…”
The introduction of two cocatalysts CoOx and Au constructs dual carrier transfer channels, which improves the photogenerated electron–hole pairs separation efficiency and photocatalytic performance.
“…28 This not only greatly increases the number of active centers, but also results in improved photocatalytic performance via synergistic effects. 31,32 As compared to oxygen and N 2 O, H 2 O 2 oxidants are much more effective to catalyze CH 4 under mild conditions via generating hydroperoxy intermediate products. 10 However, for H 2 O 2 based CH 4 conversion, the effective utilization of H 2 O 2 to reduce cost is the main bottleneck.…”
