Abstract

It is shown that the Ag nanocube/La2O3 interface catalyses gas phase oxidation of propylene to propylene oxide cooperatively with enhanced selectivity and conversion. Dioxygen is preferentially activated and dissociated by La2O3(001) and the active atomic oxygen over the Ag(100) facet leads to selective propylene epoxidation.
