Activity comparable to that of noble metal catalysts is shown by the Mn‐, Co‐, or Fe‐stabilized ZrO 2 catalysts for the low‐temperature combustion of methane. The incorporation of the transition metal into the ZrO 2 bulk structure not only stabilizes the cubic (fluorite) modification, but also increases the reactivity of the lattice oxygen atoms drastically.
