Efficient and selective photocatalytic CH4 conversion to CH3OH with O2 by controlling overoxidation on TiO2
2021
Overview
The conversion of photocatalytic methane into methanol in high yield with selectivity remains a huge challenge due to unavoidable overoxidation. Here, the photocatalytic oxidation of CH
4
into CH
3
OH by O
2
is carried out on Ag-decorated facet-dominated TiO
2
. The {001}-dominated TiO
2
shows a durable CH
3
OH yield of 4.8 mmol g
−1
h
−1
and a selectivity of approximately 80%, which represent much higher values than those reported in recent studies and are better than those obtained for {101}-dominated TiO
2
. Operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are used to comprehensively clarify the underlying mechanism. The straightforward generation of oxygen vacancies on {001} by photoinduced holes plays a key role in avoiding the formation of •CH
3
and •OH, which are the main factors leading to overoxidation and are generally formed on the {101} facet. The generation of oxygen vacancies on {001} results in distinct intermediates and reaction pathways (oxygen vacancy → Ti–O

•
→ Ti–OO–Ti and Ti–(OO) → Ti–O
•
pairs), thus achieving high selectivity and yield for CH

photooxidation into CH

OH.
The photocatalytic conversion of CH
4
into CH
3
OH with high activity and selectivity must avoid product overoxidation. Here, authors minimize overoxidation by using a (001)-dominated TiO

nanosheet to circumvent CH

overoxidation intermediates plus reaction pathways that occur on (101) facets.
