Catalytic Processes in Materials Science

Direct selective conversion of methane to C2-hydrocarbons, methanol or aromatics represents a formidable challenge to catalysis. This has become more and more evident over the last decades of intensive research and no breakthrough technology has so far been developed. A large number of approaches based on catalysis and reaction engineering has been proposed and the present contribution focuses on some of these approaches.
