Abstract

CuO–Ni/Al composites were synthesized by electroless deposition and thermal oxidation and characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Their performances as the heterogeneous catalysts for the solvent-free allylic oxidation of cyclohexene by oxygen were determined. It was found that the CuO contents and the amount of adsorbed oxygen species on the composites could significantly affect their catalytic performances in cyclohexene oxidation. The highest catalytic activity was achieved over CuO–Ni/Al-3 containing 18.5 wt% CuO with the highest amount of adsorbed oxygen species, which resulted in the maximum cyclohexene conversion of 39.1% and the total selectivity of 85.5% to 2-cyclohexene-1-ol, 2-cyclohexene-1-one, 2-cyclohexene-1-hydroperoxide and cyclohexene oxide. In addition, the catalyst was successfully recycled with no significant catalytic activity loss after three cycles.
