a, Long-term product generation and C2H5OH selectivity during photocatalytic methane transformation by CTF-1. Reaction conditions, 100-W 365-nm LED irradiation; DGFR = 2,000 ml h−1, 16:1 methane (20% methane/argon) to oxygen (water-saturated air, 20% oxygen/nitrogen) flow ratio. b, AQE (blue dots) of photocatalytic methane transformation to ethanol by CTF-1 under 365-nm LED and 450-nm LED irradiation. The ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectrum (black line) of CTF-1 was superimposed for comparison. The bandgap (Eg) of CTF-1 is presented as the intersection of the tangent of the absorption spectrum (red dashed line) with the wavelength axis.
