Conversion of methane into liquid alcohol such as ethanol at low temperature in a straight, selective and low energy consumption process remains a topic of intense scientific research but a great challenge. In this work, CuFe₂O₄/CNT composite is successfully synthesized via a facile co-reduction method and used as catalysts to selectively oxidize methane. At a low temperature of 150 ℃, methane is directly converted to ethanol in a single process on the as-prepared CuFe₂O₄/CNT composite with high selectivity. A mechanism is also proposed for the significant methane selective oxidation performance of the CuFe₂O₄/CNT composite catalysts.
