High-performance CoO–Cu2 O/SiC is prepared for the gas-phase aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol of benzaldehyde, which delivers much higher catalytic performance (92% benzyl alcohol conversion and 99% selectivity at 260 °C) than the solo CoO/SiC and Cu2 O/SiC. TEM image indicates that the small size CoO and Cu2 O nanoparticles are homogeneously distributed on the support. Control experiments indicate that Cu2 O–CoO interfaces are responsible for their better reaction performance.

AbstractA new catalyst (FAG) composed of Fe, Al, and graphene (G) was prepared for catalyzing the reaction of benzyl alcohol (BA) to benzaldehyde (BD). The catalyst was characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, and BET analyses. The catalytic performance of FAG for oxidation of BA to BD was studied by comparing with the catalysts ferrous oxide (Fe), ferrous oxide doped with aluminum (FA), and ferrous oxide doped with graphene (FG). The effects of amount of graphene additive, temperature, and ratio of Fe and Al were also studied. The results show that the catalyst FAG has a great specific surface area of 80.40 m2 g−1 and an excellent catalytic performance for the reaction of BA to BD: the conversion of BA and yield of BD significantly increased, and the selectivity of BD reached 87.38%.

AbstractNanoparticles (NP) have specific catalytic properties, which are influenced by parameters like their size, shape, or composition. Bimetallic NPs, composed of two metal elements can show an improved catalytic activity compared to the monometallic NPs. We, herein, report on the selective aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol catalyzed by unsupported Pd/Au and Pd NPs at atmospheric pressure. NPs of varying compositions were synthesized and characterized by UV/Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The NPs were tested in the model reaction regarding their catalytic activity, stability, and recyclability in batch and continuous procedure. Additionally, in situ extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements were performed in order to get insight in the process during NP catalysis.
