title: Distinct activation of Cu-MOR for direct oxidation of methane to methanol.
abstract: N2O activation of Cu-MOR enhanced methanol production at elevated temperatures, to a greater extent than activation by O2under optimal conditions. The increase in methanol production by N2O activation was attributed to the facile formation of an active copper center with no formation of inactive intermediate species.
