Synergistic photocatalysis-Fenton reaction for selective conversion of methane to methanol at room temperature

By combining the Fenton and photocatalytic reactions, the selective conversion of CH 4 to CH 3 OH on TiO 2 was significantly enhanced with solar light at room temperature. The yield and selectivity to methanol are up to 471 μmol g −1 h −1 and 83%, respectively. The Fenton reaction favors the generat...

Description
Summary:By combining the Fenton and photocatalytic reactions, the selective conversion of CH 4 to CH 3 OH on TiO 2 was significantly enhanced with solar light at room temperature. The yield and selectivity to methanol are up to 471 μmol g −1 h −1 and 83%, respectively. The Fenton reaction favors the generation of radicals. Photocatalysis facilitates the closed cycle of catalysis and Fenton reagent restoration. Combining the photocatalysis and Fenton reaction highly promote the yield and selectivity of CH 3 OH from CH 4 with solar light at room temperature, up to 471 μmol g −1 h −1 and 83%, respectively.
