Abstract
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, C2 selectivity and C2 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 C2 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.
