Non-thermal plasma enables direct methane conversion to valuable C2 hydrocarbons, but selectivity is hindered by C2H6 formation and over-dehydrogenation. Here, the authors present a shielded bifunctional nanoreactor with a hollow, mesoporous design that curbs CH4 overactivation and enhances selective C2H2 and C2H4 production under plasma activation.
