Transition Metal-Based Oxidation Catalysts to Mitigate Methane Emissions from Low-Concentration Sources

benefits from a high density of surface oxygen vacancies and an optimal acid-base balance, enabling intermediate stabilization and rapid redox cycling. By linking catalytic performance to structural features such as surface morphology, oxygen vacancies, acidity-basicity, and crystallite structures, this study provides insights into the reaction mechanisms governing methane oxidation.
