The synergistic role of the support surface and Au-Cu alloys in a plasmonic Au-Cu@LDH photocatalyst for the oxidative esterification of benzyl alcohol with methanol

Layered double hydroxide-supported Au-Cu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were found to be highly efficient catalysts for the oxidative esterification of benzyl alcohol with methanol in the presence of molecular oxygen under visible-light irradiation to prepare methyl benzoate. Here, we report that alloyin...
