Monolayer BiMoO nanosheets have been successfully prepared for the first time via a bottom-top approach with surfactant assistance, and show 8 times higher activity than bulk BiMoO for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Ultrafast charge separation and more acid-base active sites on the monolayer nanosheets are considered to be responsible for the robust photoactivity.
We studied the effect of Lewis acidity in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) on their activity as catalyst supports for the esterification of CO to dimethyl carbonate.
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.
