Plasma-catalytic one-step steam reforming of CH4 to CH3OH and H2 promoted by oligomerized [Cu–O–Cu] species on zeolites

Oligomerized [Cu–O–Cu] species are reported to be efficient in promoting plasma catalytic one-step steam reforming of methane to methanol and hydrogen, achieving 6.8% CH4 conversion and 73.1% CH3OH selectivity without CO2.
