Direct functionalization of methane into ethanol over copper modified polymeric carbon nitride via photocatalysis

Direct functionalization of methane into ethanol over copper modified polymeric carbon nitride via photocatalysis

While methane is a simple, abundant feedstock for chemical industry, the selective and facile conversion to more-complex products is challenging. Here, authors show copper-containing polymeric carbon nitride to convert methane to ethanol using light under mild conditions.
