摘要

The development of efficient catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes is crucial in industrial application. Herein, bismuth molybdate samples with different surface properties (BMO-x, x = A, B, and C) were synthesized via a hydrothermal method and tested in cyclohexene epoxidation. The BMO-A catalyst exhibited superior catalytic activity, achieving a 67.3% cyclohexene conversion with 83.6% epoxide selectivity, outperforming the BMO-B (17.4% conversion, 40.2% selectivity) and BMO-C (27.0% conversion, 59.1% selectivity) catalysts. This enhanced activity is attributed to BMO-A’s higher percentage of surface exchangeable oxygen, high surface Mo/Bi ratio, and optimal surface wettability. The high epoxidation performance of the BMO-A catalyst was attributed to its larger percentage of surface exchangeable oxygen, high surface Mo/Bi ratio, and suitable surface wettability. Specifically, the BMO-A with more exchangeable oxygen facilitated the adsorption of H2O2 molecules, and subsequent reaction with cyclohexene to yield epoxy-cyclohexane. The hydrophilic surface of BMO-A further enhanced H2O2 enrichment at the reaction interface. This work provides a new strategy for preparing highly active catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes.
