Cu-ZSM-5: A biomimetic inorganic model for methane oxidation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work highlights recent advances in elucidating the methane oxidation mechanism of inorganic Cu-ZSM-5 biomimic and in identifying the reactive intermediates that are involved. Such molecular understanding is important in view of upgrading abundantly available methane, but also to comprehend the working mechanism of genuine Cu-containing oxidation enzymes.

A new copper-oxo player in methane oxidation.
I n this issue of PNAS, Schoonheydt, Solomon, and coworkers (1) definitively characterize the structure of the Cu-ZSM-5 site that oxidizes methane to methanol. With the successful correlation of a specific copper-oxy structure to such reactivity, the importance of this work extends beyond hydrocarbon oxidation on zeolites. This breakthrough potentially has farreaching implications in both the f...
متن کاملImproved Efficiency for Partial Oxidation of Methane by Controlled Copper Deposition on Surface‐Modified ZSM‐5
The mono(μ-oxo) dicopper cores present in the pores of Cu-ZSM-5 are active for the partial oxidation of methane to methanol. However, copper on the external surface reduces the ratio of active, selective sites to unselective sites. More efficient catalysts are obtained by controlling the copper deposition during synthesis. Herein, the external exchange sites of ZSM-5 samples were passivated by ...
متن کاملA [Cu2O]2+ core in Cu-ZSM-5, the active site in the oxidation of methane to methanol.
Driven by the depletion of crude oil, the direct oxidation of methane to methanol has been of considerable interest. Promising low-temperature activity of an oxygen-activated zeolite, Cu-ZSM-5, has recently been reported in this selective oxidation and the active site in this reaction correlates with an absorption feature at 22,700 cm(-1). In the present study, this absorption band is used to s...
متن کاملContinuous selective oxidation of methane to methanol over Cu - and Fe - modified ZSM - 5 catalysts in a flow reactor
The selective oxidation of methane to methanol is a key challenge in catalysis. Iron and copper modified ZSM-5 catalysts are shown to be effective for this reaction using H2O2 as the oxidant under continuous flow operation. Co-impregnation of ZSM-5 with Fe and Cu by chemical vapour impregnation yielded catalysts that showed high selectivity to methanol (> 92% selectivity, 0.5 % conversion), as ...
متن کاملOxygen precursor to the reactive intermediate in methanol synthesis by Cu-ZSM-5.
The reactive oxidizing species in the selective oxidation of methane to methanol in oxygen activated Cu-ZSM-5 was recently defined to be a bent mono(μ-oxo)dicopper(II) species, [Cu(2)O](2+). In this communication we report the formation of an O(2)-precursor of this reactive site with an associated absorption band at 29,000 cm(-1). Laser excitation into this absorption feature yields a resonance...
