After more than three years of concentrated research, Dr. Liang Wang from the College of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Zhejiang University (ZJU CBE), together with professor Fengshou Xiao from the Department of Chemistry at Zhejiang University, have reported a heterogeneous catalyst system for enhanced methanol productivity in methane oxidation by in situ generated hydrogen peroxide at mild temperature(70℃), the methane is efficiently converted into methanol with conversion rate of 17.3%, methanol selectivity of 92%, which is the highest level in the world at present.
