Mesoporous silica is a class of silica material with a large specific surface area, high specific
pore volume and meso-sized pores. These properties make mesoporous silica a good …

Bimetallic Pd-Fe catalysts supported on TiO2 are shown to be highly effective toward the
selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde via the in situ production of H2O2 from …

Solvents not only disperse reactants to enhance mass transport in catalytic reactions but
also alter the reaction kinetically. Here, we show that the rate of benzaldehyde …

Effective and durable photocatalysts are essential for the decomposition of persistent
contaminants and the generation of hydrogen peroxide. In this study, we successfully …

Pickering emulsion stabilized by solid nanoparticles provides a diverse solvent
