Crystal facet engineering of spinel NiCo2O4 with enhanced activity and water resistance for tuneable catalytic methane oxidation
We use crystal facet engineering to develop NiCo2O4 hexagonal nanosheets with 2 different exposed crystal facets for complete CH4 oxidation. The {111} exposed facet has better resistance to humidity while the {112} facet has better activity.

In situ investigation of the mechanochemically promoted Pd–Ce interaction under stoichiometric methane oxidation conditions
A stable Pd0/Pd2+ arrangement generated on Pd/CeO2 prepared by mechanochemistry enables high methane activation rates in the absence of excess oxygen being available.

ZSM-5-confined Cr1–O4 active sites boost methane direct oxidation to C1 oxygenates under mild conditions
Cr1–O4 as an active site in the Cr1/ZSM-5 SAC can catalyze the DOM to form value-added C1 oxygenated products with a productivity of 21 100 μmol gcat−1 h−1 and a selectivity of 99.8% at 50 °C within 30 min, which outperforms most state-of-the-art catalysts.

Descriptor-based identification of bimetallic-derived catalysts for selective activation of ethane with CO2
Ethane–CO2 reaction over a wide range of bimetallic-derived catalysts was adopted to unravel the structure–function relationship over two types of representative structures.

About this collection
EES Catalysis is the home of innovative catalytic technologies. Please find here the topic collection on dehydrogenation and oxidation catalysis. Many chemicals produced for our daily lives rely on dehydrogenation and oxidation catalysis, as well as processes for energy production. Research in this area can vary significantly depending on the reaction, but the collection looks to collate the different reactions to inspire ideas.
