Sun bath : A Zn + ‐modified zeolite catalyst showing superior photocatalytic activity for the activation of a CH bond converted methane into ethane and hydrogen upon irradiation of sunlight (see picture). Light at wavelengths shorter than 390 nm transferred electrons from the zeolite framework to the zinc centers.
