Novel chemistry for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol by graphene oxide and N-doped graphene.
A novel mechanism for the selective activation of benzyl alcohol by graphene oxide and N-doped graphene has been proposed using density functional theory based calculations. Interestingly, the proposed mechanism opens new avenues for graphene and its derivative-based catalysis.
