It looks interesting. Is there a link to the original publication? I do not think this will be of use to anyone here as methanol is cheep to buy OTC.
The catalyst is also a bit out of the way to acquire. I am sure this process will be employed on Mars for manufacturing fuels.
I wonder if halomethanes could be produced if a halogen was added to the mixture of gasses. I do recall reading somewhere that hydrogen and chlorine
react in the presents of sunlight aggressively.

In EU country , Methanol is not OTC !DavidJR - 1-5-2018 at 13:15
Depends where you are in the EU. I can buy it from numerous online sellers in the UK, and it's pretty cheap.
UK is not in Euro :)

I can buy methanol OTC as windscreen fluid concentrate (it has a bit of soap though) or aquire it cheaply from most chemical suppliers. You can also
buy it as fuel for camping stoves. As you can see from my location, I'm in Romania, which is an EU country wg48 - 3-5-2018 at 04:57
Methanol can be purchased on ebay uk for£8.00 a litre free post. Its used to produce biodiesel.
If you could collect its £22 for 10L

This is excellent, recharge your DMFC with sunlight!
This means that it can now be another option for a closed cycle contaminant free energy storage system. clearly_not_atara - 3-5-2018 at 16:17
It's more interesting for the alternative fuel people, right? Methanol is one easy step from dimethyl ether, which is an effective fuel for
diesel-cycle engines, and it burns cleaner than standard diesel fuel. Unfortunately it requires pressurized storage (BP 249 K). DrScrabs - 6-5-2018 at 12:51
