Synergistic Effect on the Photoactivation of the Methane CH Bond over Ga³⁺‐Modified ETS‐10

Breaking down methane: A Ga3+-modified microporous titanosilicate (ETS-10) exhibits distinct photoactivity for the cleavage of the methane CH bond at room temperature. The highly enhanced activity is attributed to the synergistic effect of gallium-induced CH bond polarization and a titania-based photoredox process.
