Mild oxidation of methane to methanol or acetic acid on supported isolated rhodium catalystsJunjun Shan, Mengwei Li, Lawrence F. Allard, Sungsik Lee& Maria Flytzani-StephanopoulosNature 551, 605 –608 (30 November 2017)doi:10.1038/nature24640Single-site isolated rhodium species anchored on zeolites or titanium dioxide are shown to catalyse the direct conversion of methane to methanol and acetic acid, using oxygen and carbon monoxide under mild conditions.
