Abstract

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.
