Room-Temperature Methane Conversion by Graphene-Confined Single Iron Atoms
Open accessAbstract
Summary Direct conversion of methane to high-value-added chemicals is a major challenge in catalysis, which usually requires high-energy input to overcome the reaction barrier. We report that graphene-confined single Fe atoms can be used as an efficient non-precious catalyst to directly convert methane to C1 oxygenated products at room temperature. A series of graphene-confined 3d transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) were screened, yet only single Fe atoms could catalyze the methane conversion. Combining in operando time-of-flight mass spectrometry, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, and density functional theory calculations, we found that methane conversion proceeds on the O–FeN4–O active site along a radical pathway to produce CH3OH and CH3OOH first, and then the generated CH3OH can be further catalyzed to form HOCH2OOH and HCOOH at room temperature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
