Abstract
Ag@CeO2 with a rice-ball configuration as a heterogeneous and highly efficient catalyst was described for activation of H2O2 in the selective oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic sulfides to their corresponding sulfones. Ag nanoparticles in the CeO2–Ag interface increase the oxygen vacancy defects on the surface of CeO2 and oxygen vacancy defects promote the reduction of Ce4+ to Ce3+ to keep the electroneutrality. Generated Ce3+ species act as the active sites in the interface of CeO2–Ag to promote the oxidation of sulfides to sulfones. Compatibility with various aromatic and aliphatic sulfides, excellent selectivity, high yield of product, simple experimental procedure, and mild reaction conditions are some of the precious advantages of Ag@CeO2/H2O2 catalyst system.
