Edge-confined under-coordinated Cu atoms on Ru nanosheets enable efficient CH4 activation

Abstract

Description

In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Jinchang Fan et al. demonstrate that Cu atoms confined in ultrathin 2D metallic Ru nanosheets (Ru11Cu NSs) favor bi-coordinated adsorption of O∗ species to reduce the activation energy barrier for a facile C–H bond cleavage to C1 oxygenates (CH3OOH and CH3OH) with 99% selectivity.
