Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Alcohol oxidation with 100 % selectivity to the aldehyde product (versus acid formation) is achieved at mild conditions by a tandem‐type system where the intermediate species of hydrogen peroxide formation from an O₂/H₂ mixture are formed and utilised directly over Au‐Pd/Ti‐NT catalysts. In situ reaction of the intermediate species minimises the parallel decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water, overcoming one of the limitations on the use of hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant.</p> </abstract>
