Supported Pd@ZrO2 core-shell catalysts were studied for application to methane oxidation. This catalyst exhibits high activity, good thermal stability, and high resistance toward water poisoning. It was found that ZrO2 in contact with Pd is reducible. The Pd-ZrO2 interaction stabilized PdO phase and promotes the methane oxidation reaction.
