Thorium doped and thorium-carbon co doped metastable β-Bi2O3

Non-precious cobalt–bismuth binary oxide as a superior catalyst for the highly selective aerobic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in aqueous solvent

“…The dopant ion can induce the transformation of α-Bi 2 O 3 to β-Bi 2 O 3 during the formation of Bi 2 O 3 , which has been proposed in previous studies. 39,40 For further insight into the influence of Bi 2 O 3 on the texture of Co 3 O 4 , the texture coefficients (TC ( hkl ) ) of Co 3 O 4 were calculated using eqn (1), 41 and the results are presented in Fig. 1b.…”
