Abstract
- The CuMgAl ternary hydrotalcite (CuMgAl) has been reported to achieve the decomposition of H 2 O 2 to OH for hydroxylation of phenol, and the key active site is Cu+. The Cu2+ must be converted to Cu+, which is a slow step that lowers the total reaction efficiency. Herein, the partially oxidized MoS 2 loaded CuMgAl (PO-MoS 2 /CuMgAl-1.12) sample was designed to overcome this issue. As a variable valence metal the Mo can partly tune the Cu2+ to Cu+ by forming Mo O Cu electron transport system which enhances the catalytic performance of our catalyst. Unlabelled Image • The partically oxidised MoS 2 (PO-MoS 2) was loaded on CuMgAl hydrotalcite catalyst (PO-MoS 2 /CuMgAl-1.12) by a simple hydrothermal treatment. • It is the first report that PO-MoS 2 /CuMgAl-1.12 exhibits improved efficiency for the decomposition of H 2 O 2 and the hydroxylation of phenol than the original CuMgAl hydrotalcite. • It is infferred that the improved efficiency is due to the contruction of a Mo-O-Cu electron transfer system, which can in situ adjust the valence state of copper ion from Cu2+ to Cu+ during the catalytic reaction cycle and accelerate the reaction rate.
