Abstract:
Methane, the principal component of natural gas, is a relatively clean fuel. Nevertheless, unutilized and escaped methane exerts approximately 25 times greater influence on the greenhouse effect compared to carbon dioxide. The rational design of high-performance palladium-based catalysts for methane combustion holds significant importance for alleviating the greenhouse effect. The customized establishment of metal-support interaction (MSI) has emerged as a promising strategy owing to its capabilities in activating reactants, regulating interfacial electron transfer, and stabilizing metal species. This field has witnessed several decades of development and has been comprehensively summarized in excellent reviews. However, the regulation of MSI on palladium-based catalysts and its specific impacts on the catalyst structure and the methane combustion reaction remain ambiguous. This review aims to systematically elaborate on the precise design and regulation strategies of MSI in palladium-based catalysts and focuses on studying the catalytic effects of MSI on palladium species and methane oxidation reactions. Finally, the challenges and future development directions are prospected. It is anticipated that this review will offer insights for researchers to rationally construct methane combustion catalysts with appropriate MSI to enhance catalytic performance.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.
The hydrogenation process takes place on the surface of...
