Amorphous‐Phase Tailoring of TiO <sub>2</sub> –ZrO <sub>2</sub> Interfacial Linkages Regulates Radical Pathways for Highly Selective Photocatalytic Methane Oxidation
O intermediates, consistent with faster intermediate turnover and reduced overoxidation on the amorphous interface, consistent with DFT-calculated barriers that favor methane activation over non-selective reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. These findings identify amorphous-phase engineering as a kinetic valve for tuning pathways and selectivity in photocatalytic C-H transformations.
