Direct conversion of methane into C1 oxygenates under mild condition with high selectivity is a desired goal in the field of energy and chemistry. But it still remains a great challenge due to the intrinsic inertness of methane originating from strong C-H bonds (104 kcal/mol), low solubility in the solvent, and poor selectivity. Herein, we present a direct single-step conversion of methane to formic acid (HCOOH) using molecular oxygen (O₂) as the oxidant under gentle conditions on a decatungstate-doped porous cerium metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF), W₁₀@Ce-bpdc. The HCOOH yield of W₁₀@Ce-bpdc-2 was 155 µmol/g_cat at room temperature in 12 h. The process and mechanism of conversion of methane to HCOOH was revealed by spectroscopic characteristics and controlled experiments. In the presence of light, O₂ was converted to H₂O₂ by catalyst and then to ·OH radicals in solution, which interact with methane and undergo intermediates to produce HCOOH. Our experiment provides a new way to catalyze methane in combination with MOF and polyoxometalates (POMs).
