Green, Solvent-Free Mechanochemical Synthesis of Nano Ag₂O/MnO₂/N-Doped Graphene Nanocomposites: An Efficient Catalyst for Additive-Base-Free Aerial Oxidation of Various Kinds of Alcohols.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we report a solvent-less, straightforward, and facile mechanochemical technique to synthesize nanocomposites of Ag₂O nanoparticles-doped MnO₂, which is further codoped with nitrogen-doped graphene (N-DG) [i.e., (X %)N-DG/MnO₂-(1% Ag₂O)] using physical milling of separately prepared N-DG and Ag₂O NPs-MnO₂ annealed at 400 °C over an eco-friendly ball-mill process. To assess the efficiency in terms of catalytic performance of the nanocomposites, selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BlOH) to benzaldehyde (BlCHO) is selected as a substrate model with an eco-friendly oxidizing agent (O₂ molecule) and without any requirements for the addition of any harmful additives or bases. Various nanocomposites were prepar
