  On our route towards a more sustainable future, the use of stranded and underutilized natural gas to produce chemicals would be a great aid in mitigating climate change, due to the reduced CO2 emissions in comparison to using petroleum. In this study, we investigate the performance of Cu-exchanged SSZ-13 and SAPO-34 microporous materials in the stepwise, direct conversion of methane to methanol. With the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy, infrared (in combination with CO adsorption) and Raman spectroscopy, we compared the structure–activity relationships for the two materials. We found that SSZ-13 performed significantly better than SAPO-34 at the standard conditions. From CH4-TPR, it is evident that SAPO-34 requires a higher temperature for CH4 oxidation, and by changing the CH4 loading temperature from 200 to 300 ◦C, the yield (µmol/g) of SAPO-34 was increased tenfold. As observed from spectroscopy, both three- and four-fold coordinated Cu-species were formed after O2-activation; among them, the active species for methane activation. The Cu speciation in SAPO-34 is distinct from that in SSZ-13. These deviations can be attributed to several factors, including the different framework polarities, and the amount and distribution of ion exchange sites.

  This contribution clarifies the overoxidation-preventing key step in the methane-to-methanol (MTM) conversion over copper mordenite zeolites. We followed the methane-to-methanol conversion over copper mordenite zeolites by NMR spectroscopy supported by DRIFTS to show that surface methoxy groups (SMGs) located at zeolite Brønsted sites are the key intermediates. The SMGs with chemical shift of 59 ppm are identical to those formed on a copper-free reference zeolite after reaction with methanol and react with water, methanol, or carbon monoxide to yield methanol, dimethyl ether, and acetate. This reactivity corroborates the location of SMGs at Brønsted sites. We find no evidence for stable SMGs directly at copper sites and explain mechanistically why H-form mordenites outperform their Na-form analogues. This finding is of interest for any future process that tries to trap the intermediate methane oxidation product towards methanol.

  The direct stepwise transformation of CH4 to CH3OH over Cu-exchanged zeolites has been an intensively researched reaction as it can provide a solution for the utilization of this abundant feedstock. Up to date a commercial process is far from realization, which is why an understanding of the Cu speciation in zeolites as a function of reaction conditions as well as the development of a mechanistic view of the reaction are necessary to further advance the field. Herein we study Cu-exchanged ferrierite zeolite for the direct CH4 to CH3OH conversion by utilizing X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in order to assess the local structure and electronic properties of Cu through the reaction. A Cu-FER sample with a Cu/Al = 0.20 and Si/Al = 11 was subjected to three reaction cycles yielding ultimately 96 µmol CH3OH/gzeolite . Normalized to the Cu loading, this accounts for 0.33 mol CH3OH /molCu, making the sample comparable to very active Cu-MOR materials reported in the literature. During O2 activation, a transient self-reduction regime of CuII to CuI ions was identified; eventually leading to mostly framework interacting CuII species. CH4 loading leads to a reduction of these CuII containing species; which are finally partially reoxidized during H2O-assisted CH3OH extraction. The speciation after CH4 activation as well as H2O-assisted CH3OH extraction was assessed via linear combination fitting analysis of the XAS data.
