Synthesis and characterization of titanium(iv)/graphene oxide foam: a sustainable catalyst for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde
نویسندگان
چکیده
A sustainable catalyst for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BnOH) to benzaldehyde (BzH) was developed by mineralizing Ti(SO4)2 on graphene oxide foam (GOF) surface. The Ti(SO4)2/GOF was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), solid-state NMR (SSNMR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), infrared (IR) and BET analysis. Recycling experiments proved that Ti(SO4)2/GOF possessed excellent reusability and durability. The industrial perspective of Ti(SO4)2/GOF was demonstrated by the preparation of BzH in a large-scale and solvent-free oxidation process.

A manganese(II) complex of 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The activity of the complex was tested for oxidation of benzyl alcohols using t -BuOOH as an oxidant in organic solvents and in an organic/water biphasic system (hexane/H2O, toluene/H2O). The effect of solvent, temperature, oxidant, and some additives (KBr, N(C ...

Photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohols in aqueous suspensions of rhodium ion-modified titanium(iv) oxide (Rh(3+)/TiO2) in the presence of O2 under irradiation of visible light was examined. In the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde was obtained in a high yield (97%) with >99% conversion of benzyl alcohol. Rh(3+)/TiO2 photocatalysts having various physical properties w...
