New Team Develops Photocatalysis for High-Value Conversion of Methane
In a major breakthrough in the field of renewable energy, a team of researchers from China have developed a method for the conversion of methane into high-value chemicals using photocatalysis. The method promises to revolutionize the production of clean and renewable energy from natural gas and other sources of methane. This innovative technique uses light to activate a catalyst that converts methane into useful chemicals such as ethylene, propylene, and other hydrocarbons. The team has also developed a unique photocatalysis reactor that makes the process more efficient and cost-effective. This breakthrough is the first step towards a greener and more sustainable production of energy and chemicals from methane.
