Wx. Kuang et al., ULTRAFINE LA-MO AND CE-MO COMPLEX OXIDE PARTICLE CATALYSTS FOR SELECTIVE OXIDATION OF TOLUENE, Journal of materials chemistry, 8(1), 1998, pp. 19-20
It has been found that by decreasing the particle size of La-Mo and Ce
-Mo complex oxides to nanoscale, the reactivity of lattice oxygen ions
and thus the selectivity for oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde can
be remarkably improved.
