Abstract

Hydrogen abstraction from CH4 to MgO is a key step in the oxidative coupling of methane. We investigated CH4 activation on Li-doped MgO, MgO(110), and stepped MgO with the density functional theory. Our calculations with hybrid functionals revealed that MgO(110) and stepped MgO are strong candidate as the active site.
