Abstract
Electrocatalytic and thermal catalytic oxidation of toluene has been investigated by designing a series of Co2-xMoxO3 (NA1-NA6). Synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by Powder X-Ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Energy-dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy. Thermal catalytic oxidation of toluene at 150 °C characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Specifically, 19% benzene, 11% benzyl alcohol, and 6% benzoic acid were detected by GC–MS analysis of thermal catalytic oxidation of toluene by NA3. Electrocatalytic activity of the nanomaterials to oxidize water and toluene was studied by Cyclic Voltammetry and Linear Sweep Voltammetry. The peak currents during anodic and cathodic scan depicted that the synthesized materials were actively redox in nature. The onset potential for the electrocatalytic oxidation of toluene in NA3 and NA4 was observed. Samples from electrocatalytic activity were analyzed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography which gives efficient oxidation of toluene into respective products.
