Enhance the reactivity : By combined experimental and theoretical studies of vanadium–yttrium oxide cluster cations and other related reaction systems, local charge effects on methane activation by oxygen‐centered radicals (O −. ), as well as nonradical oxygen species (O 2− ), have been demonstrated and can serve as a fundamental basis for rational design of catalysts for direct transformation of methane in practice (see figure).
