Copper-exchanged large-port and small-port mordenite (MOR) for methane-to-methanol conversion.

ABSTRACT: Zeolite mordenite (MOR) is one of the most studied zeolites for the stepwise direct conversion of methane to methanol, but it also can exist in two forms: large port and small port. Here we report that the synthesis and selection of the parent mordenite is critical for optimizing productivity, and that large-port mordenite outperforms small-port mordenite for the stepwise conversion of methane to methanol.
