The image highlights electron transfer from Si─ONa─Al moieties to iron active sites in the Fe/ZSM-5-0.25Na driving selective C─C coupling between methane and CO, efficiently steering the reaction toward acetic acid formation. In their Research Article (e202511056), Jie Zeng, Bo Wu et al. demonstrate a strategy to bypass traditional Brønsted acid dependency, employing metal-electronic modulation to enhance catalytic efficiency, and to establishes an innovative pathway for methane conversion.
