First and second transition metal oxides (V, Cr, Co, Cu, Zr and Mo) and some lanthanide oxides (La and Ce) showed relatively high OCM activities of ca. 0.5â??1 C yield at a very low catalyst loading of 0.05 g. Exploration of catalyst formulations found that oxides of transition metals combined with ZrO2 were effective, with MnO2â??ZrO2 showing a high synergy effect giving almost twice as much methane coupling yield. The OCM activity was correlated with the surface amount of a low 1s binding energy (O1s, 526â??527 eV) oxygen species on the catalyst, as well as its energy separation from the lattice oxygen. In terms of this oxygen species, SCW-OCM activity of Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2, known as a good gas phase OCM catalyst and also showed a high turnover efficiency for SCW-OCM was further improved by supporting Mn/Na2WO4 on ZrO2 instead of SiO2. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
