Radical-mediated Conversion of Methane and Water to Light Alcohols
Abstract
We report a catalyst-free, one-step strategy utilizing double dielectric barrier discharge to convert CH4 and H2O into light alcohols under ambient conditions, achieving 8 % methane conversion and 70 % light alcohol selectivity. Mechanistic analysis verifies that the dominant pathway for alcohol formation is the direct coupling of alkyl and hydroxyl radicals.
