title: Modified SO(4)(2-)/Fe(2)O(3) solid superacid catalysts for electrochemical reaction of toluene with methanol.
abstract: A series of sulfate, different metal promoted SO(4)(2-)/Fe(2)O(3) catalysts were prepared and investigated by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All catalysts exhibit good catalytic activity for the electrochemical reaction of toluene with methanol assisted with a pair of porous graphite plane electrodes and chemical conversion higher than 80% was observed. In particular, molybdate promoted catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic activity.
