The slow-photon effect of Pt/TiO2-SiO2 inverse opal on photocatalytic nonoxidative coupling of methane was explored regarding the cavity size and filming treatment. The ethane production rate was maximized to 72 μmol g-1 h-1 on a filmed microarray with a macroporous diameter of 170 nm, demonstrating the significance of enhancing light-matter interaction for methane conversion.
