چکیده
|
An electrode composite containing a metal organic framework (Mn-MIL-100) was prepared by linkers including
gold nanoparticles/polypyrrole and cysteine. The electrocatalytic application of this nanocomposite was
evaluated via the oxidation of benzylic and aliphatic alcohols under open air conditions. Various active and
inactive alcohol derivatives were successfully converted to the corresponding ketones with excellent yields. This
advanced electrocatalyst proved to have remarkable stability over several recovery cycles from the reaction
medium without significant change in its activity and selectivity and its regeneration potential. The active surface
area of this electrocatalyst is very large due to its structural features, arising from the introduction of a metal
organic framework (Mn-MIL-100) on a gold electrode, which provides more accessible surface sites, therefore
boosting the electrocatalytic activity. The structure of the synthesized electrocatalyst has been characterized by
FESEM, EDX, and AFM techniques.
