Abstract
A MXene support for a noble metal that forms a catalyst having active sites comprising single metal-layer nanostructures. The catalyst is stable under conditions for methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons and provides reduced coke formation. The results show a supported metal catalyst using the MXene where Pt atoms form one or more layers of atoms on the surface of the Mo2TiC2Tx support after it is reduced at 750° C. The catalyst shows high selectivity for C2-hydrocarbons with reduced coke formation, which can cost effectively convert methane into other valuable products.
