Catalytic oxidation of methane (CH4) is the primary method for controlling the low-concentration CH4 emission from the ventilation-air-methane of coal mines and the exhaust of engines. So far, promoting low-temperature catalytic oxidation of low-concentration methane is still one of the challenges in catalytic combustion. Here we put forward a new idea for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of low-concentration CH4, that is using the Non-Faradaic process induced by electric field to enhance the catalytic oxidation of CH4 over nanosized palladium at low temperature. In this proposal , the scientific issues in Non-Faradaic process promoting catalytic oxidation of CH4 over nanosized palladium catalysts will be stated by carrying out the following tasks: (1) to explore the mechanisms of Non-Faradaic process caused by applying electric field to Pd-based catalysts, and (2) to explore the mechanisms of Non-Faradaic process affecting the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of CH4 over Pd-based catalysts, and （3）to study the mechanisms of catalyst structure affecting the low-temperature catalytic oxidation of CH4 over Pd-based catalysts with Non-Faradaic process, and to establish the design principles of Pd-based catalysts used for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of low-concentration CH4 enhanced by Non-Faradaic process. The scientific merit of the research works proposed in this proposal is to provide fundamental basis for developing high-performance catalysts for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of low-concentration methane.
