Pd encapsulated by hollow silica spheres for enhanced total oxidation of methane in the presence of water

Unburnt methane emitted from stationary and internal combustion engines has raised concerns due to its strong greenhouse effect. Pd-based catalysts are considered as benchmark for total oxidation of methane at exhaust gas conditions. However, high content of water vapor drastically decreases their p...
