A novel Cu-nanowire@Quasi-MOF <i>via</i> mild pyrolysis of a bimetal-MOF for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol in air

Abstract

A Cu-nanowire@Quasi-MOF was synthesized using a Cu/Co bimetal-MOF <italic>via</italic> a thermal decomposition strategy for the first time. The Cu-nanowire@Quasi-MOF exhibits excellent catalytic performance in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol in air.
