Article Synopsis
- Researchers used an inverse-micelle sol-gel method to create Ti and Fe-doped mesoporous silica catalysts for oxidizing styrene to benzaldehyde.
- The Ti-doped catalyst (Ti-MS) showed impressive results, achieving 93% conversion of styrene and 91% selectivity for benzaldehyde, while also producing minor byproducts like formic acid and acetophenone.
- The catalysts maintained their effectiveness over four reuse cycles, highlighting the importance of acid strength and choice of solvents and oxidants for optimal performance.
