Abstract Non-oxidative liquefaction of methane at room temperature and ambient pressure has long been a scientific “holy grail” of chemical research. In this report, we exploit an unprecedented catalytic transformation of methane exclusively to cyclohexane through effective surface-hydrogen-transfer (SHT) at the heterojunctions boundary consisting of electron-rich platinum cluster (Pt) loaded on methane-activating gallium nitride (GaN) host. The experimental analysis demonstrates that interface-induced overall reaction starts with methane aromatization to benzene initiated by the Ga-N pairs, followed by hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane via hydrogen transfer. The in-situ activated hydrogen at electron-rich metal Pt cluster plays a key role for the hydrogenation and enables an outstanding selectivity (as high as 89 %) towards cyclohexane, which is well-delivered even after 5 recycling runs.

Ambient pressure silica aerogel thin films have recently been prepared by exploiting reversible drying shrinkage caused by derivatization of the internal gel surface. Aerogels have porosities of upto 99.9% and due to the small size of the pores (few nanometers), large capillary stresses are produced in gels that are partially saturated with a wetting liquid. As a result of these capillary stresses, the flexible silica network undergoes strain which has been observed using environmental microscopy. This technique allows variation of the equilibrium vapor pressure and temperature, and a simultaneous monitoring of the deformation of the unconstrained film thickness. We have observed >600% deformation during the pore-filling and pore-emptying cycles. In this presentation, we discuss the unique stress-strain behavior of these films.Ref.: Sai S. Prakash, C.
