Thiol-assisted aerosol synthesis of mesoporous Cu–SiO 2 catalysts for effective and stable ethanol dehydrogenation
Abstract
Mesoporous Cu–SiO 2 catalysts are prepared via aerosol-assisted sol–gel; upon addition of (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), we observe enhanced Cu dispersion and time-on-stream stability during ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde.
