Theoretical Investigation of Catalytic Oxidation of Benzylalcohol by Au, Cu and Au-Cu nanoclusters

UPU. Deva PriyakumarPPPradeep Kumar PalInternational Institute of Information Technology

Key Points

  • This research focuses on understanding how gold and copper nanoclusters can catalyze the oxidation of benzyl alcohol.
  • Theoretical analysis of gold and copper nanoclusters
  • Comparison of catalytic activity in oxidation reactions
  • Evaluation of alloy composition effects on catalysis
  • Gold nanoclusters effectively catalyze the oxidation of benzyl alcohol.
  • Incorporating copper into gold alloys improves catalytic performance.
  • Enhanced oxidation rates observed with Au-Cu nanoclusters compared to pure Au.

Abstract

Gold nanoclusters have been found to catalyze chemically significant reactions like oxidation of greenhouse gases and selective oxidation of alcohols. Further incorporation of Cu atoms in Au alloys enhances their...
