Exploration of sustainable electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with high catalytic activity remains a key challenge in the development of metal–air batteries and fuel cells.
An efficient and environmentally benign protocol for the one-pot, three-component synthesis of 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydro-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives by condensation of aryl aldehydes, 2-naphthol and dimedone using H4SiW12O40(SiWA) as a reusable catalyst with high catalytic activity was reported. The reaction was carried out at 100 ºC under solvent-free conditions within 15-40 min in 82-91% yield.
One-pot synthesis of M (M = Ag, Au)@SiO2 yolk–shell structures via an organosilane-assisted method was demonstrated and exhibited high catalytic activity.
A protective roasting strategy can be applied to prepare stable mh-CeO2 microspheres with enhanced catalytic activity and reusability for one-pot synthesis of imines.
