Efficient utilization of abundant methane (CH4) from natural gas remains a major catalysis challenge. One recommended strategy is to convert methane into liquid fuels, such as alcohols, ketones and acids, but most processes usually proceed through high-temperature routes with expensive oxidants. Here, we employ a ZrO2:NiCo2O4 nanowire catalyst as the electrochemical anode for partial methane oxidation. Without high temperature, noble metal catalysts and expensive oxidants, this metal oxide nanowire anode produces propionic acid, acetic acid and acetone. |
