Fig. 1: Rational design concept for catalytic combustion of CH4 with O3.
From: Designing main-group catalysts for low-temperature methane combustion by ozone
a Employing single-component (SC)-AFIR, CH4 combustion with O3 was comprehensively explored to determine the key intermediates and elementary steps. b Different active sites were evaluated regarding the decrease in Ea of the key elementary step. c Heterogeneous catalyst comprising the predicted active site was tested experimentally.
