Journal of Materials Chemistry A· Volume 14· Issue 18

Abstract

DFT shows metal-dependent C–H activation in FER zeolites. Partial d-orbitals metals (Fe, Co, Ni) favor CPET while d 10 Cu + prefers HAT. Oxyl-radical [CuO] + and [Cu(µ-O)Ni] 2+ exhibit superior activity. This guides methane-to-methanol catalyst design.
