Schematic diagram of TaPc/C3N4 catalyst preparation. Credit: Research Nonoxidative coupling of methane (NOCM) exhibits promising prospect in that it affords value-added hydrocarbons and hydrogen with high atom economy. However, the challenge remains in methane’s direct, selective conversion to more valuable hydrocarbons like olefins. The current work presents a catalyst with well-dispersed Ta atoms anchored by
