Zeolites　have　ordered　pore　structures,　good　spatial　constraints,　and　superior　hydrothermal　stability.　In　addition,　the　active　metal　elements　inside　and　outside　the　zeolite　framework　provide　the　porous　material　with　adjustable　acid–base　property　and　good　redox　performance.　Thus,　zeolites-based　catalysts　are　more　and　more　widely　used　in　chemical　industries.　Combining　the　advantages　of　zeolites　and　active　metal　components,　the　zeolites-based　materials　are　used　to　catalyze　the　oxidation　of　methane　to　produce　various　products,　such　as　carbon　dioxide,　methanol,　formaldehyde,　formic　acid,　acetic　acid,　and　etc.　This　multifunction,　high　selectivity,　and　good　activity　are　the　key　factors　that　enable　the　zeolites-based　catalysts　to　be　used　for　methane　activation　and　conversion.　In　this　review　article,　we　briefly　introduce　and　discuss　the　effect　of　zeolite　materials　on　the　activation　of　C–H　bonds　in　methane　and　the　reaction　mechanisms　of　complete　methane　oxidation　and　selective　methane　oxidation.　Pd/zeolite　is　used　for　the　complete　oxidation　of　methane　to　carbon　dioxide　and　water,　and　Fe-　and　Cu-zeolite　catalysts　are　used　for　the　partial　oxidation　of　methane　to　methanol,　formaldehyde,　formic　acid,　and　etc.　The　prospects　and　challenges　of　zeolite-based　catalysts　in　the　future　research　work　and　practical　applications　are　also　envisioned.　We　hope　that　the　outcome　of　this　review　can　stimulate　more　researchers　to　develop　more　effective　zeolite-based　catalysts　for　the　complete　or　selective　oxidation　of　methane.　©　2023　by　the　authors.
