Abstract
Catalytic production of CH<sub>3</sub>OH by direct oxidation of CH<sub>4</sub>with O<sub>2</sub>was performed using Cu zeolites in a CH<sub>4</sub>/O<sub>2</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O flow reaction, where Cu-MOR exhibited relatively high CH<sub>3</sub>OH production with the redox of Cu(<sc>i</sc>)/Cu(<sc>ii</sc>) species.
