Ambient methane functionalization initiated by electrochemical oxidation of a vanadium (V)-oxo dimer
The undesirable geological release of methane at remote locations can be lessened through an efficient methane conversion process. Here, the authors report selective ambient functionalization of methane by a vanadium (V)-oxo electrocatalyst with a low activation energy and a high turnover frequency.
