Abstract

Cu-exchanged zeolites possess active sites that are able to cleave the C–H bond of methane at temperatures ≤200 °C, enabling its selective partial oxidation to methanol. Herein we explore this process over Cu-SSZ-13 materials. We combine activity tests and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to thoroughly investigate the influence of reaction parameters and material elemental composition on the productivity and Cu speciation during the key process steps. We find that the Cu II moieties responsible for the conversion are formed in the presence of O 2 and that high temperature together with prolonged activation time increases the population of such active sites. We evidence a linear correlation between the reducibility of the materials and their methanol productivity. By optimizing the process conditions and material composition, we are able to reach a methanol productivity as high as 0.2 mol CH 3 OH/mol Cu (125 μmol/g), the highest value reported to date for Cu-SSZ-13. Our results clearly demonstrate that high populations of 2Al Z 2 Cu II sites in 6r, favored at low values of both Si:Al and Cu:Al ratios, inhibit the material performance by being inactive for the conversion. Z[Cu II OH] complexes, although shown to be inactive, are identified as the precursors to the methane-converting active sites. By critical examination of the reported catalytic and spectroscopic evidence, we propose different possible routes for active-site formation.

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.
