Abstract
Oxidative coupling of methane into ethylene and ethane over LiCl-doped NiO was enhanced when oxygen was pumped electrochemically to the catalyst through a stabilized zirconia oxygen-anion conductor. This favourable effect can be ascribed to the generation of reactive oxygen species on the catalyst for selective synthesis of C2 compounds.
