Transition Metal-Based Oxidation Catalysts

The REPAIR project is proud to announce Nardana Bazybek PhD Student at KTH Royal institute of Technology latest publication: “Transition Metal-Based Oxidation Catalysts to Mitigate Methane Emissions from Low-Concentration Sources.”

Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas, approximately 28 times more potent than CO₂ over a 100-year period. Its dilute and distributed emissions, particularly from agricultural activities, make mitigation especially challenging. In this work, we investigate methane oxidation over transition metal oxides with a focus on structure–activity relationships. By systematically comparing four distinct catalyst motifs, the study highlights how the interplay of structural, textural, and surface-chemical properties, together with surface oxygen species, lattice oxygen mobility, and redox cycling, governs catalytic performance.

Sincere thanks to my co-authors Luigi Vicidomini, Efthymios Kantarelis, Klas Engvall, and Shareq Mohd Nazir.
