NOx-catalyzed gas-phase activation of methane: in situ IR and mechanistic studies
The products of reactions occurring in a CH4-O-2-NOx mixture have been investigated by in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The results show that low temperatures favor the formation of HCHO and CH3OH, while high temperatures favor that of C2H4. Possible reaction mechanisms based on the in situ observations are briefly discussed.
