Conclusions
In summary, mesoporous carbons with abundant surface
functional groups and tunable pore size have been obtained with a
modified hardꢀtemplate route. Using these carbons as supports, the
resultant supported ironꢀoxide catalysts exhibit an enhanced activity
in air oxidation of various benzyl alcohols. The amount of surface
oxygen functional groups of carbon supports is the crucial factor for
the dispersion of iron oxide species and the high activity of resultant
catalyst. The negatively charged oxygen functional groups serve as
strongly active sites for anchoring positively charged Fe3+ ions and
result in high dispersion of ultrafineꢀironꢀoxide particles. These
functional groups also provide a suitable coordinate environment for
ultrafineꢀironꢀoxide, increasing the electron density of iron centres
and forming of active sites for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol with
molecular oxygen. This work shows that high performance iron
oxide catalysts can be obtained by rational design of carbon support.
This general strategy can also be extended to prepare other supported
transitionꢀmetalꢀoxide catalysts with ultrafine particle size and high
catalytic performance.
