Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde over CoFe2O4 nanocatalyst

Sonochemically induced cube-shaped NiFe2O4 nanoparticle-catalyzed selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde

“…3 At the present time, numerous efforts are being made toward the selective oxidation of alcohol to carbonyl compounds using such spinel ferrites. 44–48 In our previous work, we reported the synthesis of NiFe 2 O 4 and MnFe 2 O 4 NPs and successfully used them in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. 24,31 Motivated by the previous reports, we examined the catalytic activity of the cube-shaped NiFe 2 O 4 NPs in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes, expecting that it would offer better performance.…”
