We discovered unexpected intralayer microchannels of magadiite, a natural layered silicate, and used it as additive in a TiO2 photocatalytic system oxidizing toluene to realize efficient and selective synthesis of benzoic acid not achieved by conventional photocatalysts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
