Catalytic methane oxidation and combustion represent a critical domain in energy and environmental research. Methane, as the principal component of natural gas, is a promising low-carbon fuel; however ...

Researchers have created a material that catalyzes the burning of methane 30 times better than do currently available catalysts. As the world's accessible oil reserves dwindle, natural gas has become ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

A recently-discovered chemical process could have led to widespread formation of the greenhouse gas methane when Earth was young. The reaction doesn’t involve living organisms, so could have occurred ...
