Methane makes up between 70 and 90% of natural gas, of which there is an excess of 7000 trillion cubic feet of reserve on earth. While it can be used to heat homes, there is a lot of interest in converting it into value-added chemicals. Steam methane reforming produces syngas, a mixture of CO and H2, which is used as feedstock in industrial processes like the Fischer-Tropsch process. Since methane is relatively chemically inert, it requires high temperature and pressure to cause a reaction. An alternative approach is photocatalytic conversion, where light reduces the activation energy of the methane C-H bond. One method is plasmonic photocatalysis, which exploits the energy decay pathways due to localized surface plasmon resonance in metal nanoparticles to drive a reaction. The seminar will cover a study that reports the photocatalytic conversion of methane by illuminating a Cu-Rh antenna-reactor plasmonic catalyst with visible light. This alloy benefits from the plasmonic response of Cu (antenna) along with the reactivity of the Rh (reactor) to achieve something neither could do on their own.
