Thermodynamic Insights Into Direct Methane to Methanol Conversion Using O2 and CO2 Oxidants
ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.A thermodynamic analysis compares O2 and CO2 for the direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol. While O2 offers higher theoretical conversions, it poses safety risks and favors total oxidation. CO2 presents a safer, more sustainable alternative despite its thermodynamic limitations.
