During the synthesis, both the reduction of GO and growth of metal oxides took place simultaneously. The as-prepared composite material was highly selective for the liquid-phase oxidation of p-cresol to form p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in 71% yield within 1h. The composite material was characterised by SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV). A CV study revealed that the increase in the redox potential of the mixed oxide after being supported on GO, led to its higher activity of the catalyst for the oxidation reaction. The stability of the catalyst under the reaction conditions was studied by its successful reuse in three cycles.</p>10acyclic voltammetry10agraphene10aOxidation10asupported catalysts10atransition metals1 aJha, Ajay1 aPatil, Sagar, H.1 aSolanki, Bhanu, P.1 aRibeiro, Ana, P.
