Abstract: Direct cost-effective conversion of abundant methane to high value-added oxygenates (methanol, formic acid, acetic acid, etc.) under mild conditions is prospective for optimizing the structure of energy resources. However, the CH bond of products is more reactive than that of high thermodynamic stable methane. Exploring an appropriate approach to eliminate the “seesaw effect” between methane conversion and oxygenate selectivity is significant. In this review, we briefly summarize the research progress in the past decade on low-temperature direct conversion of methane to oxygenates in gas-solid-liquid phase over various transition metal (Fe, Cu, Rh, Pd, AuPd, etc.) based nanoparticle or single-atom catalyst. Furthermore, the prospects of catalyst design and catalysis process are also discussed.
