Claim 0:
1. A method for partial oxidation of methane, comprising:
adding a porous nanocatalyst to water and dispersing the mixture by sonication to prepare a dispersion; and adding an oxidizing agent and methane gas to the dispersion and allowing the reaction for partial oxidation of the methane gas to proceed to form liquid products, wherein the porous nanocatalyst comprises a nitrogen-doped porous carbon structure and copper ions coordinated to nitrogen atoms present in the porous carbon structure wherein the porous carbon structure is formed by carbonizing a Zn-based zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8), wherein a molar ratio of copper ions Cu2+/(Cu2++Zn2+) is in a range from 5 to 40.
