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. 0.5�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 MnO2�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, 526�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. date: 2019 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85054344899&doi=10.1016%2fj.supflu.2018.07.001&partnerID=40&md5=6a85d655fa2aba2573d2986444ba3681 id_number: 10.1016/j.supflu.2018.07.001 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Supercritical Fluids volume: 144 pagerange: 8-13 refereed: TRUE issn: 08968446 citation: Hassan, M.A. and Miyao, T. and Komiyama, M.
