We synthesized iron (Fe) and nitrogen (N)-modified silicon carbide (Fe/N–SiC) as a novel methane (CH4) combustion catalyst by annealing Fe-deposited SiC under an ammonia atmosphere at 900 °C for 3 h. The rate of CH4 combustion over Fe/N–SiC was 3 times higher than that over Fe–SiC (without N atoms) at 500 °C. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of Fe/N–SiC revealed that Fe was atomically distributed and coordinated to N atoms. N-Ligated Fe centers in the catalyst might facilitate the activation of molecular oxygen, and the generated active oxygen species likely react with CH4, resulting in the enhancement of CH4 combustion activity over Fe/N–SiC.
