title: Selective oxidation of methanol to dimethoxymethane over bifunctional VO(x)/TS-1 catalysts.
abstract: This communication describes the design of bifunctional VO(x)/TS-1 catalysts with enhanced redox and acidic character via doping SO(4)(2-) and PO(4)(3-) for selective oxidation of methanol to dimethoxymethane. Redox sites enable the production of formaldehyde, while acidic sites favor the condensation of formaldehyde to DMM.
