Ultra-small and highly dispersive iron oxide hydroxide as an efficient catalyst for oxidation reactions: a Swiss-army-knife catalyst

Abstract Ultra-small and highly dispersive (< 10 nm) iron oxide hydroxide is characterized by some methods. The compound is an efficient and stable catalyst for alcohol oxidation, organic sulfide oxidation, and epoxidation of alkenes in the presence of H2O2. The electrochemical oxygen-evolution r...
