Key Points

This research aims to improve the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde at low temperatures using Ag catalysts.
Utilized a novel acid pretreatment strategy to modify silanol group distribution on MCM-41.
Increased isolated silanol groups while decreasing hydrogen-bonded silanols to facilitate Ag nanoparticle formation.
Achieved highly dispersed Ag nanoparticles, enhancing catalytic performance for formaldehyde oxidation.

Implication

Novel acid pretreatment enhances Ag nanoparticle dispersion and formaldehyde oxidation efficiency.

Abstract

A novel acid pretreatment strategy modulates the distribution of silanol groups on MCM-41 by increasing isolated silanol groups while reducing H-bonded ones, which enables the formation of highly dispersed Ag nanoparticles.
