Abstract

Supported metal oxide nanoparticles are important in heterogeneous catalysis; however, the ability to tailor their size, structure, and dispersion remains a challenge. A strategy to achieve well-dispersed and size-controlled supported metal oxides through the manageable growth of a metal organic framework (Cu-BTC) on TiO2 followed by pyrolysis is described.

Keywords: CuO; catalysis; dispersion; metal organic frameworks; metal oxide nanoparticles; supported catalysts.
