Room temperature oxidation of methyl orange and methanol over Pt-HCa2Nb3O10 and Pt-WO3 catalysts without light.
The layered semiconductor Pt-HCa(2)Nb(3)O(10) can catalyze room temperature air oxidation of methyl orange. It is also more effective than Pt-WO(3) in catalyzing reaction of methanol with air. Pt-HCa(2)Nb(3)O(10) could find wide application as a mild oxidizing catalyst.
