Title: Method for preparation of nanoceria supported atomic noble metal catalysts and the application of platinum single atom catalysts for direct methane conversion

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1986891

Described are methods for converting methane to olefins, aromatics, or a combination thereof using a single atom catalyst comprising CeO2 nanoparticles impregnated with individual atoms of noble metals including Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ag, Au, Ir, or a combination thereof. These single atom catalysts of the present invention are heated with methane to form olefins and aromatics.
