Abstract
The direct conversion of methane to methanol and formaldehyde via partial oxidation is still a very challenging research area in fundamental heterogeneous catalysis. Many catalyst systems have been investigated for this process and review articles are available in the literature.1,2 Silica supported V2O5 and MoO3 have been studied extensively, 3–6 and V2O5/SiO2 was found to be one of the most active and selective catalysts for methane partial oxidation to formaldehyde either by using N2O3 or molecular oxygen4,5 as oxidants. Besides steady-state catalytic tests, there are very few studies that have focused on correlations between the structures of catalysts and their catalytic performances or establishing the nature of the active sites for methane partial oxidation.
