By breaking structural symmetry of the single atomic active site, the photocatalytic water oxidation pathway is tuned for highly selective oxidation of CH4 to CH3OH in an aqueous solution. The water oxidation ability and its influence on photocatalytic oxidation of CH4 over symmetrically coordinated...
