title: A facile and efficient synthesis of polystyrene/gold-platinum composite particles and their application for aerobic oxidation of alcohols in water.
abstract: Herein we develop a facile and effective method for the synthesis of composite particles composed of polystyrene microspheres decorated with gold-platinum alloy nanoparticles, which exhibited excellent catalytic activity and recyclability for 1-phenylethanol oxidation under mild conditions (without a base, air as an oxidant, in water, at 40 °C).
