Amphiphilic Janus silica particles, tunable with oleophobic-oleophilic properties and low fluorine content (8 wt % F), exhibited prominent foamability for a variety of aromatic alcohols at low particle concentrations (<1 wt %) compared to randomly functionalized silica particles. When selectively loaded with Pd nanoparticles on the oleophilic hemisphere, the particles displayed more than a 2-fold increase in catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol compared to nonfoam bulk catalysis under ambient O pressure. The particles were conveniently recycled with high foamability and catalytic activity maintained for at least five consecutive runs.
两亲性Janus二氧化硅颗粒具有疏油亲油特性且氟含量低(8 wt% F),与随机功能化的二氧化硅颗粒相比,在低颗粒浓度(<1 wt%)下对多种芳香醇表现出显著的发泡性。当在亲油半球上选择性负载钯纳米颗粒时,与在环境氧压力下的非泡沫本体催化相比,该颗粒对苯甲醇的有氧氧化催化活性提高了两倍多。这些颗粒便于回收,且至少连续五次保持高发泡性和催化活性。
