Preparation of monolithic catalysts using 3D printed templates for oxidative coupling of methane†
Abstract
3D printed polymer models were applied as templates in order to control channel architectures in monolithic catalysts. The resulting Mn- and Na2WO4-containing monoliths exhibited stable 23–25% methane conversion in the oxidative coupling of methane, with a high selectivity of 67–70% towards C2–C3 hydrocarbons.
