One-step conversion of methane and formaldehyde to ethanol over SA-FLP dual-active-site catalysts:A DFT study

One-step conversion of methane and formaldehyde into ethanol is a 100%atom-efficient process for car-bon resources utilization and environment protection but still faces eminent challenges due to the lack-ing of efficient catalysts.Therefore,developing active and stable catalysts is crucial for the co-conversion of methane and formaldehyde.Herein,twelve kinds of"Single-Atom"-"Frustrated Lewis Pair"(SA-FLP)dual-active-site catalysts are designed for the direct conversion of methane and formaldehyde to ethanol based on density functional theory(DFT)calculations and microkinetic simulations.The results show that the SA-FLP dual active sites can simultaneously activate methane at the SA site and activate formalde-hyde at the FLP site.Among the twelve designed SA-FLP catalysts,Fe1-FLP shows the best performance in the co-conversion of methane and formaldehyde to ethanol with the rate-determining barrier of 1.15 eV.Ethanol is proved as the main product with the turnover frequency of 1.32 × 10-4 s-1 at 573K and 3 bar.This work provides a universal strategy to design dual active sites on metal oxide materials and offers new insights into the effective conversion of methane and formaldehyde to desired C2 chemicals.
