Abstract
Rhodium nanoparticles supported over zirconia was prepared by wet impregnation method and its potentiality as a catalyst was analyzed. The catalyst material was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Infra-Red spectroscopy and X-ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy analysis. The magnetic susceptibility was also measured at different temperatures. The behavior and efficiency of the support catalyst was studied in the oxidation of some alcohols to aldehydes or ketones in presence of butyl peroxide as oxidant. Re-usability of the catalyst without reduction in the catalyzing ability up-to four cycles is what observed. The high yield of the desired products, easy work up processes, no formation or involvement of toxic chemicals either as intermediates or products makes the entire reaction as green method.
