Figure 4. Mechanism of photocatalytic CH4 oxidation.

Figure 4

(a) EPR signals of 0.1-Ag under different environments. From the bottom-up, the traces are for a fresh sample measured in an air atmosphere, measured in an air atmosphere after illumination, measured immediately after injection CH4 to the illuminated system, measured after illumination under CH4 and air atmosphere, respectively. (b) In situ IR spectra of methane photocatalytic oxidation collected at different illumination time intervals. (c) Schematic illustration for the photocatalytic CH4 reaction processes under ambient conditions.
