Copper Exchanged Zeolite with Mordenite Structure

Caption

A new bio-inspired zeolite catalyst might pave the way to small scale "gas-to-liquid" technologies converting natural gas to fuels and starting materials for the chemical industry. The copper exchanged zeolite with mordenite structure mimics the reactivity of the enzyme methane monooxygenase (MMO).
