One line is partial oxidation to oxygenates such as methanol and formaldehyde; the other is C-C coupling to ethane and ethylene. The former is sensitive to oxidant and selectivity, while the latter is limited by very low conversion-both are directions photocatalysis tries to break through.
Photogenerated holes and reactive oxygen species can activate the methane C-H bond mildly, avoiding high-temperature side reactions. The PLR-CTPR Micro-Droplet Methane Photoconversion Reactor uses the micro-droplet interface to strengthen this activation and raise the probability of target-product formation.
Gas-phase methane activation commonly uses the PLR-GSPR Atmospheric-Pressure Gas-Solid Photocatalytic Reaction System, but methane activation at the gas-solid interface is inefficient; the micro-droplet liquid-phase interface offers a better microenvironment, and the two can be studied comparatively.
| Configuration | Interface | Methane activation |
|---|---|---|
| PLR-GSPR (gas-solid) | Clear and controllable | Inefficient |
| PLR-CTPR (micro-droplet) | Three-phase, enriched | More efficient |
Methane conversion products are mostly trace oxygenates and require highly sensitive detection. The PLD-CGA1000 Composite Gas Analyzer or a Gas Chromatograph can accurately quantify and qualify products, which is key to closed-loop evaluation.

Partial oxidation to oxygenates like methanol and formaldehyde, and C-C coupling to ethane and ethylene; both are targets for photocatalytic breakthroughs.
Photogenerated holes and reactive oxygen mildly activate the C-H bond, avoiding high-temperature side reactions, and the micro-droplet interface further strengthens activation.
Trace oxygenates need sensitive detection; the PLD-CGA1000 Composite Gas Analyzer or a Gas Chromatograph gives accurate quantitative and qualitative results.
