DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDIES ON THE STRUCTURAL EVOLUTION AND CATALYTIC REACTIVITY OF MOLYBDENUM-BASED CATALYSTS FOR METHANE CONVERSION

Methane is an abundant resource existing in the form of natural and shale gas, and molybdenum-based catalysts, including molybdenum oxides and carbides, are the commonly used components in catalysts for converting methane to value-added chemicals. Therefore, understanding the catalytic mechanism und...
