Increase the number of active sites in Cu-MOR through NO/NH3 pretreatment for catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol

Copper-zeolites have been reported to catalyze the direct conversion of methane to methanol. In this work, we report that pretreatment of copper-mordenite (Cu-MOR) using a gas mixture of NO and NH3 (NO/NH3) results in remarkably increased activity for the direct oxidation of methane to methanol. The...
