Abstract:
A novel nanostructured catalyst with an ultra-thin porous shell obtained from the thermal decomposition of an aluminium alkoxide film deposited by molecular layer deposition for size-selective reactions was developed. The molecular sieving capability of the porous metal oxide films was verified by examining the liquid-phase hydrogenation of n-hexene versus cis-cyclooctene.
