First Phenol Carboxylation with CO2 on Carbon Nanostructured C@Fe-Al2O3 Hybrids in Aqueous Media under Mild Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Novel hybrid materials with integrated catalytic properties and hydrophobic response, C@Fe-Al2O3 hybrid samples, were presented and tested as catalysts for phenol reaction in aqueous solutions at atmospheric pressure and mild temperature conditions, using CO2 as a feedstock. A series of carbon-coated γ-alumina pellets (C@Fe-Al2O3) were synthesized and characterized by TGA, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and XPS in order to get comprehensive knowledge of their properties at the nanoscale and relate them with their catalytic behavior. The results obtained correlated their catalytic activities with their carbon surface compositions. The application of these materials as active catalysts in the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction for CO2 conversion in aqueous media was p
