Direct conversion of methane into value‐added chemicals is a challenging but worthwhile subject. In this communication, the direct conversion of methane into methane oxygenates was achieved in an aqueous solution at room temperature using iron salts and Pd/C as catalysts and hydrogen peroxide as an...
