AB  - This study presents a review of Oxidative Coupling of Methane 
  (OCM) reactions over different catalysts for fixed bed reactor and SOFC reactor. 
  The catalysts have much promise role methane conversion, C<SUB>2</SUB> selectivity 
  and C<SUB>2</SUB> yield. The review contains the elementary operating principles 
  of OCM and the catalysts. In addition, some of the most important recent advance 
  catalysts in electro co-generation process in SOFC reactor to produce C<SUB>2</SUB> 
  hydrocarbon along with electricity have been reviewed. Although, OCM recognized 
  as on attractive reaction by many researchers because ethylene product is important 
  base chemical in the petrochemical industries but OCM has a limitation. Commercial 
  application of OCM reaction however requires further improvements in their performance, 
  stability and the development of cheaper catalyst materials.
