Manganese oxides showed higher activity performance than that of cobalt oxides irrespective of the method of preparation. The solvothermal method yielded mesoporous manganese oxide without using any template giving mixed phases of monoclinic Mn5O8 and hausmannite Mn3O4. The mesoporous manganese oxide exhibited excellent activity for liquid phase aerobic oxidation of veratryl alcohol under base free conditions, with 90% conversion and almost complete selectivity towards veratraldehyde. The detailed characterization results on morphology, size and composition of the prepared mesoporous manganese oxide obtained by XRD, XPS, H-2-TPR, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, FESEM and HR-TEM techniques were used to understand the role of morphological and structural features in enhancement of the observed catalytic activity.</p>1 aJha, Ajay1 aChandole, Tejansh1 aPandya, Rajan1 aRoh, Hyun-Seog1 aRode, Chandrashekhar, V.  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/solvothermal-synthesis-mesoporous-manganese-oxide-enhanced-catalytic-activity-veratryl-001970nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245007800055210006900133260000800202300001100210490000800221520123500229653001001464653001201474653002701486653001701513653002401530100003201554700001901586700002901605856010601634       2023                        eng d  a0926-860X00aSelective oxidation of 5-HMF to DFF over alkali promoted Mn nanocomposite0 aSelective oxidation of 5HMF to DFF over alkali promoted Mn nanoc  cJUN  a1191800 v6593 a<p>
	Various compositions of Cs promoted Mn catalysts were synthesized and investigated for selective oxidation of 5HMF to DFF, among which Mn-Cs(80:20) was found to be most efficient giving 91 % conversion of 5-HMF and 99 % selectivity to DFF. Detail characterization like N2-sorption, BET surface area, TG-DTA, XRD, XPS, FE-SEM-EDX, TEM, HR-TEM, CO2-TPD, H2-TPR, O2-TPO, FTIR, Raman spectra and CH3OH-IR were done to establish structureactivity correlation. Enhanced surface area, porosity, thermal stability, dual morphologies were observed due to inclusion of Cs in Mn lattice domain which further enhanced the crystallinity, and oxygen diffusion on the surface. Mixed morphologies comprising nanoparticles (4-5 nm) and nanocubes (50-60 nm) were observed with enhanced redox potential and reduced work function due to weakening of Mn-O bonds. Significant increase in the basicity of catalyst, interfacial redox properties and lattice oxygen led to highly efficient oxidation of 5-HMF to DFF via Mars-van Krevelen mechanism at relatively milder conditions i.e. T = 90 degrees C and PO2= 200 psig. The catalyst was easily recyclable up to 7 times with minor loss in activity which was regenerated heat treatment protocol.</p>
