Direct oxidation of methane to methanol using CuMoO₄.

ABSTRACT: Upgrading methane into methanol or other high value-added chemicals is not only beneficial to mitigate the greenhouse effect, but also provides basic raw materials for industrial production. Nowadays, most research is limited to zeolite systems, and it is a considerable challenge to extend the support to metal oxides while achieving a high yield of methanol. In this paper, we take advantage of impregnation methods to synthesise a novel Cu/MoO₃ catalyst, which can convert methane to methanol in the gaseous phase. At 600 °C, the Cu(2)/MoO₃ catalyst can achieve a maximum STY_CH3OH of 47.2 μmol (g^-1 h^-1) with a molar ratio CH₄ : O₂ : H₂O = 5 : 1.4 : 10. Consequences of SEM, TEM, HRTEM and XRD subs
