Abstract

This study converted low-concentration methane into active metal-loaded graphene using a CuCl₂–NiCl₂/NaCl molten salt system, achieving a 42.68% rate and 4.58 mg min⁻¹ yield. It enabled efficient electrocatalysis in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), linking waste gas conversion to high-performance material production for sustainable energy.
