Researchers from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made a groundbreaking discovery. They found that anchoring subnanometric MoOₓ clusters onto TiO₂ nanosheets significantly boosts the selectivity in photocatalytic methane oxidation. This innovation could lead to more efficient energy solutions and environmental benefits.
The team’s research emphasizes the importance of these tiny clusters in enhancing the performance of photocatalysts. By utilizing the unique properties of MoOₓ, they achieved a notable improvement in the oxidation of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. This development not only holds promise for energy conversion but also for reducing harmful emissions.
