Methane Conversion
In article number 2404871, Ying Zhou and co-workers introduce a breakthrough in photocatalytic methane-to-methanol conversion using BiOI/BN heterojunction nanosheets, employing interface engineering to enhance ultrafast charge transfer and stabilize the backtracking of intermediate to produce methanol. This achieves 15.5% methane conversion and 86.4% methanol selectivity under ambient conditions for 24 hours.
