Abstract

Things go better without coke! The selective activation of methane and its direct conversion into light olefins and aromatic compounds remains a formidable challenge. Recent work shows that a catalyst material consisting of lattice-confined single iron atoms is very active and selective in the direct, nonoxidative conversion of methane into ethylene, benzene, and naphthalene without the formation of coke deposits.
