Abstract

Single-atom Pd anchored on In-MIL-68-bpy enables selective photothermal catalytic oxidation of CH4 to HCHO in water. The Pd–N site promotes O2 activation and regulates reactive oxygen species generation, affording a HCHO formation rate of 1.9 mmol gcat−1 h−1 at 120 °C while suppressing deep oxidation to CO2.
