Abstract
Methane has been notoriously difficult to activate for useful chemistry. Now, a tandem catalyst system comprising an iron-modified zeolite and an enzyme is developed for the partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde under ambient conditions using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent. This approach achieves high selectivity and conversion to formaldehyde.
