Abstract

A monodisperse CeO2@N-C ultrathin nanosheet self-assembled hierarchical structure (USHR) has been prepared by metal-organic framework template methods. The uniform coating of nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) layers could play an important role in the adsorption and activation of benzylic alcohol. The unique 3D hierarchical structure self-assembled by ultrathin nanosheets provided enough active sites for the catalytic reaction. Therefore, the CeO2@N-C USHR can afford excellent catalytic performance for selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols in water.
