Efficient oxidation of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde catalyzed by graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide supported bimetallic Au-Sn catalysts.

ABSTRACT: A series of bimetallic and monometallic catalysts comprising Au and Sn nanoparticles loaded on graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were prepared using three distinct techniques: two-step immobilization, co-immobilization, and immobilization. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) were used to characterize the chemical and physical properties of prepared Au-Sn bimetallic and Au or Sn monometallic nanocatalysts. The catalytic performance of the prepared nanocatalysts was evaluated in the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BzOH) to benzaldehyde (BzH) using O₂ as an oxidizing agent under moderate
