Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Mix it up</bold>: Carbon nanotube (CNT)–TiO₂ nanohybrids with the potential to control the phase of an emulsion were successfully developed with a simple yet efficient method (see figure). When ruthenium was deposited on these CNT–TiO₂ nanohybrid supports, they demonstrated catalytic potential for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. The relationship between the emulsion properties and the catalytic mechanism is also discussed.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t7pcd42" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
