Generative Discovery of Alloy Catalysts for Radical-Mediated Methane-to-Methanol Conversion.

Selective oxidation of methane to methanol under mild conditions remains a "holy grail" in chemical manufacturing, constrained not only by the inertness of the C-H bond but also by the difficulty of controlling highly reactive intermediates once methane is activated. Plasma activation provides a nonequilibrium reaction...
