Understanding and tackling the activity and selectivity issues for methane to methanol using single atom alloys

Abstract

The process for the direct oxidation of methane to methanol is investigated on single atom alloys using density functional theory. A catalyst search is performed across FCC metal single atom alloys. 7 single atom alloys are found as candidates and microkinetic modelling is performed. The activity and selectivity are remarkably improved over that of pure palladium metal, yet remain unideal.
