The as-synthesized nanocomposites consisted of Cu, Zn and Al domains coated by a lauric acid shell structure with controlled physicochemical properties. Combining these features, a porous CuO–ZnO/Al2O3 supported catalyst was obtained from CuZnAl@C nanocomposite, in which Cu and Zn oxide nanoparticles interacted quite strongly with alumina. In this study, a nanostructured CuO–ZnO/Al2O3 was applied to oxidize ethylbenzene in the presence of H2O2. Catalytic results further demonstrated that the nanostructured solid had ethylbenzene conversion superior to 20% and good selectivities to acetophenone, benzaldehyde and benzoic acid compared to a benchmark CuZnAl catalyst obtained by the sol-gel method.1-18openAccessporous materialsaluminium oxidesnanocompositesoxidationnanomaterialscopper alloysArtigo de periódico29210.1016/j.matchemphys.2022.126800https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6078-229X6382.5
