Magnetic core-shell-structured Fe₃O₄@CeO₂ as an efficient catalyst for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation of benzoic acid.

ABSTRACT: A magnetic core-shell-structured Fe₃O₄@CeO₂ catalyst was prepared by a simple solvothermal method and applied in the solid state for catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) of benzoic acid. The obtained catalyst was characterized by N₂ adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetic measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The experimental results showed that Fe₃O₄@CeO₂ possessed superior catalytic efficiency for CWPO of benzoic acid than that of Fe₃O₄. The high catalytic activity was caused by a synergistic effect between Fe₃O₄ and CeO₂, which assisted the decomposition of H₂O_2</
