Covalent organic frameworks-supported copper bismuth oxide nanoparticles as an efficient and green photocatalyst for benzyl alcohol oxidation.

ABSTRACT: This work presents a sustainable and eco-friendly method using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) under visible light to selectively photocatalyze the oxidation of aromatic alcohols into beneficial aromatic aldehyde compounds. Under mild conditions, this work investigated a composite of CuBi₂O₄ and CTFs (CTF-CuBi₂O₄) as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to their respective benzaldehydes using TBHP as the oxidizing agent. Several microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, including FT-IR, PXRD, SEM, TEM, EDAX, BET, TGA, UV-DRS, Matt-Schottky, and PL, were used to investigate the physical and structural features of this photocatalyst. Moreover, mass spectroscopy, ¹H NMR, and¹³C NMR were the techniques applied to verify the corresponding b
