Abstract

Photocatalytic direct conversion of methane(CH₄)to methanol(CH₃OH)provides an effective way for efficient energy storage and the synthesis of high-value chemicals.However,due to the difficulty in activating CH₄molecules and the fact that CH₃OH is more reactive than CH₄and prone to peroxidation,the conversion rate of CH₄is low,and the selectivity of CH₃OH is low as well.Therefore,the selective photocatalytic direct conversion of CH₄to CH₃OH still faces significant challenges.This review focuses on the research ideas on promoting CH₄conversion rate and CH₃OH selectivity in recent years in the direct conversion of photocatalytic CH₄to CH₃OH,as well as the corresponding catalyst design strategies.In terms of promoting the CH₄conversion rate,the main research idea is to effectively activate CH₄by improving reactive oxygen radical activation or catalytic activation pathways.In terms of promoting CH₃OH selectivity,the main idea is to inhibit the peroxidation of CH₃OH or achieve CH₃OH regeneration.In order to improve the conversion rate of CH₄and the selectivity of CH₃OH,catalytic design strategies mainly include loading cocatalysts,controlling the size of catalytic materials and constructing oxygen vacancies.Finally,this review provides an outlook on the future research direction of photocatalytic direct conversion of CH₄to CH₃OH .
