Abstract

Abstract Copper hydroxyphosphate (Cu2(OH)PO4) crystals with various morphologies have been successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, using different organic amines as the morphology-controlling agents. These Cu2(OH)PO4 crystals were used as catalysts for phenol hydroxylation by H2O2, and they showed distinct activities. The sheet morphology of Cu2(OH)PO4 crystals with a large percentage of reactive facets ({011} facets) exhibited enhanced catalytic activity in hydroxylation of phenol.
