Au2+ cannot catalyze conversion of methane to ethene at low temperature
Abstract
The previously reported conversion of methane to ethene catalyzed by Au2+ at thermal energies is investigated through a combination of experiment and theory. The conversion is found not to occur, in-line with well-established thermodynamics.
