The conversion of methane to a value-added chemical is important for methane utilization and industrial demand for primary chemicals. Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons is one of the most attractive ways to use natural gas. However, it is difficult to obtain higher C2 yield in classic OCM reaction due to a favorable COx formation. Regarding this, various catalysts for OCM have been studied to fulfill desirable C2 yields. In this review, we briefly overview the single metal oxide types of OCM catalysts (alkaline-earth metal oxides and rare-earth metal oxides) and highlight the characteristics of catalysts in OCM reaction such as methane activation, surface basicity and lattice oxygen.

AbstractEfficient conversion of methane to value-added products such as olefins and aromatics has been in pursuit for the past few decades. The demand has increased further due to the recent discoveries of shale gas reserves. Oxidative and non-oxidative coupling of methane (OCM and NOCM) have been actively researched, although catalysts with commercially viable conversion rates are not yet available. Recently, $${{{{{{{\mathrm{Sr}}}}}}}}_2Fe_{1.5 + 0.075}Mo_{0.5}O_{6 - \delta }$$ Sr 2 F e 1.5 + 0.075 M o 0.5 O 6 − δ (SFMO-075Fe) has been reported to activate methane in an electrochemical OCM (EC-OCM) set up with a C2 selectivity of 82.2%1. However, alkaline earth metal-based materials are known to suffer chemical instability in carbon-rich environments. Hence, here we evaluated the chemical stability of SFMO in carbon-rich conditions with varying oxygen concentrations at temperatures relevant for EC-OCM. SFMO-075Fe showed good methane activation properties especially at low overpotentials but suffered poor chemical stability as observed via thermogravimetric, powder XRD, and XPS measurements where SrCO3 was observed to be a major decomposition product along with SrMoO3 and MoC. Nevertheless, our study demonstrates that electrochemical methods could be used to selectively activate methane towards partial oxidation products such as ethylene at low overpotentials while higher applied biases result in the complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide and water.

The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) to C2 hydrocarbons (C2H4 and C2H6) has aroused worldwide interest over the past decade due to the rise of vast new shale gas resources. However, obtaining higher C2 selectivity can be very challenging in a typical OCM process in the presence of easily oxidized products such as C2H4 and C2H6. Regarding this, different types of catalysts have been studied to achieve desirable C2 yields. In this review, we briefly presented three typical types of catalysts such as alkali/alkaline earth metal doped/supported on metal oxide catalysts (mainly for Li doped/supported catalysts), modified transition metal oxide catalysts, and pyrochlore catalysts for OCM and highlighted the features that play key roles in the OCM reactions such as active oxygen species, the mobility of the lattice oxygen and surface alkalinity of the catalysts. In particular, we focused on the pyrochlore (A2B2O7) materials because of their promising properties such as high melting points, thermal stability, surface alkalinity and tunable M-O bonding for OCM reaction.
