Selective Oxidation of Toluene Catalysed by Ultrafine Fe–Mo Oxide Particles

Abstract

It has been found that by decreasing the size of both Fe₂O₃ and Fe₂(MoO₄)₃ particles in complex Fe–Mo oxide to nanometric order, the catalytic activity of the mixed oxide in toluene oxidation is remarkably improved.
