      abstract     = {Highly selective oxidation of methane to methanol has long
                      been challenging in catalysis. Here, we reveal key steps for
                      the pro­motion of this reaction by water when tuning the
                      selectivity of a well-defined CeO2/Cu2O/Cu(111) catalyst
                      from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to methanol under a
                      reaction environment with methane, oxygen, and water.
                      Ambient-pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed
                      that water added to methane and oxygen led to surface
                      methoxy groups and accelerated methanol production. These
                      results were consistent with density functional theory
                      calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, which
                      showed that water preferentially dissociates over the active
                      cerium ions at the CeO2–Cu2O/Cu(111) interface. The
                      adsorbed hydroxyl species blocked O-O bond cleavage that
                      would dehydrogenate methoxy groups to carbon monoxide and
                      carbon dioxide, and it directly converted this species to
                      methanol, while oxygen reoxidized the reduced surface. Water
                      adsorption also displaced the produced methanol into the gas
                      phase.},
