Figure Abstract

Caption

Researchers demonstrated 5 wt.% Na2WO4/SiO2 as the first heterogeneous coupling catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane. The bifunctional system generated CH3* radicals over La2O3 and selectively coupled CH3* on the surface of 5 wt.% Na2WO4/SiO2. As a result, it boosts the C2 selectivity of La2O3 by three times and achieves a C2 yield as high as 10.9% at bed temperature of only 570 ºC.
