Low-temperature oxygenation of methane into formic acid with molecular oxygen in the presence of hydrogen catalysed by Pd0.08Cs2.5H1.34PVMo11O4 0

Abstract

The title reaction is catalysed by Pd 0.08 Cs 2.5 H 1.34 PVMo 11 O 4 0 at temperatures as low as 423–593 K, and the catalytic rate, which reached a maximum at 573 K, is 1.2 × 10 - 4 mol h - 1 g - 1 , ca. 3 × 10 2 times higher than FePO 4 , the most active catalyst previously reported.
