Abstract
Conventional methods to prepare supported metal catalysts are chemical reduction and wet impregnation. This study developed and systematically investigated a novel reduction method based on simultaneous Ti3AlC2 fluorine-free etching and metal deposition to prepare gold catalysts. The new series of Aupre/Ti3AlxC2Ty catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM, and SEM and were tested in the selective oxidation of representative aromatic alcohols to aldehydes. The catalytic results demonstrate the effectiveness of the preparation method and better catalytic performances of Aupre/Ti3AlxC2Ty, compared with those of catalysts prepared by traditional methods. Moreover, this work presents a comprehensive study on the influence of calcination in air, H2, and Ar, and we found that the catalyst of Aupre/Ti3AlxC2Ty-Air600 obtained by calcination in air at 600 °C performed the best, owing to the synergistic effect between tiny surface TiO2 species and Au NPs. The tests of reusability and hot filtration confirmed the catalyst stability.

Abstract
Oxygen-containing organics, which are generated from the selective oxidation of their corresponding hydrocarbons, have high value in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. However, their oxidation reactions are very challenging as the products are more active than the substrates, especially for the oxidation of cyclohexane (CHA). Herein, we focused on the one-step preparation of Bi2WO6 with double active sites of tunable metallic Bi and oxygen vacancies (OV-Bi/Bi2WO6) by a facile solvothermal treatment. Then, OV-Bi/Bi2WO6 was used as an efficient photocatalyst for the partial oxidation of CHA to cyclohexanone (CHA-one) for the first time in air as an oxidant under solvent-free and room temperature conditions. The Bi : Bi2WO6 ratio in the as-prepared OV-Bi/Bi2WO6 heterojunction could be tailored from 0.08 to 8.43 by controlling the solvothermal temperature, and the synergistic effect between DMF and EG could increase the reduction of MDF/EG and promote the production of Bi. Moreover, OV-Bi/Bi2WO6-160 yielded 4.4 and 8.8 times more CHA-one (128.8 μmol) than pure Bi2WO6 and metallic Bi, respectively, and achieved 93.6% selectivity to CHA-one in air as an oxidant under solvent-free conditions. The results revealed that the highly enhanced photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the superior specific surface area, outstanding photo-absorption, abundant oxygen vacancies, and efficient electron-hole separation. Moreover, for the unique double active sites in OV-Bi/Bi2WO6, oxygen vacancies can enhance the adsorption and activation capacity of Bi2WO6 for O2, while metallic Bi can improve the adsorption and activation capacity of Bi2WO6 for CHA. Meanwhile, OV-Bi/Bi2WO6 also exhibited excellent durability due to the strong interaction between metallic Bi and Bi2WO6. The present work provides a flexible approach for tailoring the Bi : Bi2WO6 ratio and outlines an effective method for producing CHA-one from CHA under mild conditions.
