Greenhouse Gas Upgrading
Localized surface plasmon resonance induced hot electrons inject into antibonding orbitals of CH4 under light illumination, enabling selective CH bond editing. Cleavage of the first CH bond of CH4 is accelerated, and *CH intermediates proceed along ordered *CH+*O*CHO rather than *CH*C+*H. More in article number 2404005, Xianglei Liu and co-workers.
