Selective photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols in solar-irradiated aqueous suspensions of Pt, Au, Pd and Ag loaded TiO2 catalysts
文摘
Pt, Au, Ag and Pd loaded TiO2’s were prepared by photoreduction method. Significant amount of 4-nitrobenzoic acid was obtained in basic conditions. Reactivity and product selectivity are influenced by pH and the substituent groups. Pt-loaded catalysts are very efficient for partial benzyl alcohol conversions.
