The objectives of this research were to achieve and understand the partial oxidation of methane to oxygenates and C, hydrocarbons over dual redox catalysts. The catalysts were based on oxidic materials that will exhibit structural and thermal stability for long reactor lifetimes. A continuous flow reactor system with oxygen or air as the oxidizing gas, rather than nitrous oxide, was utilized over a wide range of temperatures ({<=}1000{degrees}C), with variable gas hourly space velocity, in order to maximize the space time yields of the desired products. All of the investigated processes are catalytic and are aimed at minimizing gas phase reactions.
