Separable and recyclable SBA-15 based catalyst for metal-free ATRP

In situ growth of an ultrathin Cu/g-C3N4 coating over SBA-15 for catalytic wet air oxidation of pollutants under extremely mild conditions

“…Meanwhile, the aminopropyl groups of KH-550 could bond with the C atoms in the g-C 3 N 4 network, thus acting as a linkage between SBA-15 and g-C 3 N 4 . It has been reported that amination of the SBA-15 surface can introduce abundant -NH 2 groups, 45,46 thus significantly enhancing the interaction with Cu/g-C 3 N 4 . 47,48 During catalytic reusability evaluation, the KH-550-modified Cu 1 /CN 3.3 @SBA catalyst showed significantly increased stability than the unmodified counterpart (Fig.…”
