Coordination-tailored atomic interfaces for selective CH₄-to-C₂ conversion in aqueous solution.

ABSTRACT: Selective CH₄-to-C₂ oxygenates conversion under mild conditions represents a frontier challenge in catalysis science with promising commercial implications. Herein, we report the successful and controlled construction of densely distributed O₂-bridged Fe diatomic (Fe₁-O₂-Fe₁) interfaces in carbon nitride aerogel-supported Fe dual-atom catalysts (Fe-DAC/g-C₃N₄) for selective methane oxidation to acetic acid (CH₃COOH) in aqueous solution under mild conditions. Experimental studies reveal that the Fe₁-O₂-Fe₁ atomic interfaces with tailored coordination environments and precisely modulated Fe-Fe distance (2.92 ± 0.05 Å) and oxygen-bridged coordination environment
