We are thrilled to announce that our recent research on the use of V2C MXene as a heterogeneous solid catalyst has been featured on the cover of Chemistry – A European Journal. This work showcases the innovative application of MXene nanomaterials in catalytic processes, particularly for the aerobic oxidation of indane to indanol/indanone mixtures.
Our study highlights the potential of V2C MXene as a reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the solvent-free aerobic oxidation of indane, achieving high conversion and selectivity. We also investigated the impact of surface terminal groups on the oxidation reaction, providing valuable insights into the functionality of MXene materials in catalytic applications.
This research underscores the merits of MXenes in heterogeneous catalysis, driven by their chemical composition and surface functionalities. Our findings open new avenues for the application of MXene materials in various catalytic processes.
