Room-temperature synthesis of a highly active vanadium-containing mesoporous molecular sieve, V-HMS

Abstract

A thermally stable vanadium-containing mesoporous molecular sieve, V-HMS is synthesized at room temperature; V-HMS catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity in the oxidation of phenol and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol using either hydrogen peroxide or tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant.
