Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The PdO and m-ZrO2 oxides show different catalytic properties which are not only complementary but also relevant for the ethanol selective oxidation. Due to the spillover of the oxygenated intermediates from PdO to m-ZrO2 and vice versa these compounds are able to generate a promising system for ethanol oxidation to acetic acid.
