Rhodium-spinel catalysts with activity for efficiently catalyzing the net partial oxidation of methane at high selectivities for CO and H2 products are disclosed, along with their method of making. A syngas production process employing such catalysts for the net catalytic partial oxidation of a C1-C5 hydrocarbon (e.g. , natural gas or methane) to a product gas mixture comprising CO and H 2 is also disclosed. Preferred reaction conditions include maintaining the catalyst at a temperature of about 400-1,200째 C., superatmospheric pressure, and flow rate sufficient to pass the reactant gas mixture over the catalyst at space velocities of at least about 100, 000-25,000,000 hr-1.
