Low-temperature Activation and Catalytic Transformation of Methane to Non-CO2 Products

"Methane is an abundant resource with harmful environmental impacts. Consequently, the transformation of methane into chemical and fuel feedstocks is highly attractive, but historically this process has required energy-intensive, high temperature conditions to achieve selective dissociation of C-H bonds. Recently significant progress has been made in achieving low-temperature methane conversion, offering access to value-added chemicals and fuels under mild conditions for energy-efficient chemical synthesis and climate remediation."--
