Abstract
A series of graphitic carbon nitride supported vanadium catalysts (xV/g-C3N4) with different vanadium contents (x/%) were prepared by impregnation. XRD, FT-IR, TEM, TG-DTG, nitrogen adsorption and XPS characterizations were conducted which revealed a strong interaction between the vanadium species and g-C3N4 support. 8V/g-C3N4 exhibited the highest activity and showed stable recyclability in the benzene hydroxylation reaction with a benzene conversion of 24.6% and phenol selectivity of 99.2% under the optimized conditions. The excellent catalytic performance of xV/g-C3N4 was due to the integration of vanadium species with high catalytic activity and the g-C3N4 support in their interaction with the benzene substrate
