Direct functionalization of methane into ethanol over copper modified polymeric carbon nitride via photocatalysis, Published online: 31 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08454-0

While methane is a simple, abundant feedstock for chemical industry, the selective and facile conversion to more-complex products is challenging. Here, authors show copper-containing polymeric carbon nitride to convert methane to ethanol using light under mild conditions.
