Hexagonal CeO₂ nanoplate@Au catalysts for the selective oxidation of 1,3-propanediol to a polymer platform, 3-hydroxypropionic acid at room temperature

Abstract

Hexagonal CeO2 plates (H-CeO2) were prepared through template synthesis using a 2D hexagonal microporous organic polymer (H-MOP). After loading Au species onto H-CeO2, the resulting H-CeO2@Au was studied as a...
