Abstract
Copper oxide doped mesoporous KIT-6 materials were synthesized by ultrasonication as impregnation method. The highly ordered nature of mesoporous CuO-KIT-6 materials analyzed by low angle X-ray diffraction. The high surface area, pore diameter and mesoporous nature of synthesized materials were confirmed by BET surface area analysis. Si–O–Si, Si–OH and Cu–O–Si bonds in the framework of CuO-KIT-6 were verified by FTIR spectroscopy. The Cu2+ ← O2− charge-transfer transitions and d–d transitions of dispersed Cu2+ on ordered mesoporous KIT-6 were identified by DRS UV–Vis spectroscopy. The morphology of the synthesized CuO-KIT-6 materials was analyzed by HR-SEM. The 3D ordered nature of CuO-KIT-6 confirmed by TEM analysis. The highly ordered 3D mesoporous CuO-KIT-6 materials are excellent catalyst for benzene hydroxylation reaction through C-H activation and styrene epoxidation reaction with 30 % aqueous H2O2. The catalyst CuO-KIT-6 itself showed a good conversion towards both reactions.
