In aqua dual selective photocatalytic conversion of methane to formic acid and methanol with oxygen and water as oxidants without overoxidation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The direct and selective transformation of naturally abundant methane (CH 4 ) into high-value-added oxygenates, e.g., methanol, ethanol, and formic acid, is one of the "Holy Grails" in chemistry and chemical productions. However, complex mixtures of products, often due to over-oxidations, make such transformations highly challenging. Herein, gallium nitride (GaN), a methane-active semiconductor, catalyzes the photooxidation of methane and empowers the fine-controlling of chemoselectivity toward methanol and formic acids, simply by regulating the O 2 content in water. In contrast to previous methods, no overoxidation products (CO 2 and CO) were observed in this process. Mechanistic investigations and the corresponding quantitative experiments indicated that the controllable generation of moderately reactive oxygen radicals (•OOH and •OH) in combination with the direct methane activation triggered by GaN is responsible for the highly selective reactivity and tunability through a photo-generated radical process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
