AbstractPhoto-oxidation of methane (CH4) using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) synthesized in situ from air and water under sunlight offers an attractive route for producing green methanol while storing intermittent solar energy. However, in commonly used aqueous-phase systems, photocatalysis efficiency is severely limited due to the ultralow availability of CH4 gas and H2O2 intermediate at the flooded interface.
