Fluctuating Storage of the Active Phase in a Mn‐Na(2)WO(4)/SiO(2) Catalyst for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane

Structural dynamics of a Mn‐Na(2)WO(4)/SiO(2) catalyst were detected directly under reaction conditions during the oxidative coupling of methane via in situ XRD and operando Raman spectroscopy. A new concept of fluctuating storage and release of an active phase in heterogeneous catalysis is proposed...

Sumario:Structural dynamics of a Mn‐Na(2)WO(4)/SiO(2) catalyst were detected directly under reaction conditions during the oxidative coupling of methane via in situ XRD and operando Raman spectroscopy. A new concept of fluctuating storage and release of an active phase in heterogeneous catalysis is proposed that involves the transient generation of active sodium oxide species via a reversible reaction of Na(2)WO(4) with Mn(7)SiO(12). The process is enabled by phase transitions and melting at the high reaction temperatures that are typically applied.
