Direct conversion of methane to formaldehyde and CO on B2O3 catalysts

Partial oxidation of methane to value-added C1 products remains challenging due to the favorable formation of fully-oxidized CO2. Here, the authors show supported B2O3 catalysts with tri-coordinated BO3 units as the active site are highly selective in oxidizing methane to HCHO and CO.
