The major drawback of direct oxidation technology (onsite hydrogen peroxide production followed by its conversion into organic oxides without refining) is the design and preparation of the bifunctional catalysts used therein. Herein we present a bifunctional catalytic material (NHTS), which is synthesized by a revised semi-in-situ method that allows a noble metal to be distributed throughout the titanosilicate framework and also results in a redistribution of active Ti species throughout the crystals, thereby enriching the sur-
