Redox properties of molten salts for methane activation

Molten salt mixtures have been tested in a redox mode as catalysts for the activation of methane at 750 °C. It is found that after pre-treatment with dioxygen a transition metal halide/ sodium vanadate melt can convert methane selectively to C2+ products in the absence of molecular oxygen. The melt...
