A heterogeneous mechanism for the catalytic decomposition of hydroperoxides and oxidation of alkanes over CeO2 nanoparticles: A combined theoretical and experimental study

Abstract: A nanoparticulate CeO2 catalyst is presented that is able to oxidize cyclohexane to K/Aoil (a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol) using hydroperoxides as oxidizing species. The improvement in selectivity with decreasing particle size suggests the existence of a structure-activity relationship in this process, and points to a preferential activation of cyclohexane at defective corner or edge sites. A detailed theoretical study of the reaction mechanism over three different CeO2 catalyst models shows that… Show more

“…For reactions of selective catalytic oxidation, fine tuning of oxygen vacancies formation energy may be needed to obtain the best combination of catalytic activity and selectivity toward desired products. Such a tuning is possible using size and structure effects in nanoparticles as it was demonstrated for cyclohexane oxidation over CeO 2 nanoparticles …”

“…Such a tuning is possible using size and structure effects in nanoparticles as it was demonstrated for cyclohexane oxidation over CeO 2 nanoparticles. [17] Titanium dioxide is a very widely used adsorbent, component of solar cells, catalyst and catalyst support. Oxygen vacancies in surface and inner layers of TiO 2 were previously studied computationally and the results are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…In addition, cycloalkanols and cycloalkanones are important intermediates and solvents in the chemical industry and academic research [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. To realize this necessary transformation from cycloalkanes to their oxidized products, several oxidants can be employed, such as iodosylbenzene [32][33][34][35][36][37][38], iodosylbenzene diacetate [34,[38][39][40], tert-butyl hydroperoxide [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid [50][51][52][53][54][55], hydrogen peroxide [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63], molecular oxygen [64][65][66][67][68][69][70]…”
