Methods of converting ethane to ethylene at relatively low temperatures are described. IrO-based catalysts are used in the conversion. Methods of converting a base gas to a first gas by exposing the base gas to an IrO-based catalyst and forming the first gas are described. The base gas can be an alkane. The first gas can include an alkene, an alkyne, an alcohol, an aldehyde, or combinations thereof.

Conversion of ethane to ethylene

Methods of converting ethane to ethylene at relatively low temperatures are described. Ir02-based catalysts are used in the conversion. Methods of converting a base gas to a first gas by exposing the base gas to an IrO2-based catalyst and forming the first gas are described. The base gas can be an alkane. The first gas can include an alkene, an alkyne, an alcohol, an aldehyde, or combinations thereof.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for IrOcatalysts, methods of making IrOcatalysts, methods of using IrOcatalysts to make methanol, formaldehyde, and/or ethylene from CH, systems for using IrOcatalysts, and the like.
