The influence of Ti₃C₂ on Cu–Al₂O₃-based catalysts was investigated. The characterization results revealed that slight oxidation of the Ti₃C₂ surface generated highly dispersed TiO₂ nanoparticles that the doping of TiO₂‒Ti₃C₂ in the Cu‒Al₂O₃ catalyst increased the specific surface area of the catalyst and promoted the formation and growth of Cu nanoparticles, and that strong interactions occurred between TiO₂‒Ti₃C₂ and the Cu components. The number of oxygen vacancies at the interface between TiO₂‒Ti₃C₂ and Cu increased by 17%, and the electronic kinetic energy of Cu⁰ decreased by 0.1 eV, with the electron-rich oxygen vacancies transferring electrons to Cu²⁺ ions and maintaining more Cu species in lower oxidation states.

Considering the capability of the microorganisms to synthesize nanofibrous (NFs) upon exposure to metal ions, microorganisms were employed to produce Gd₂ZnMnO₆ NFs through a biological process. The utilization of chemical modification to fabricate environmentally friendly heterogeneous nanocatalysts has proven to be highly appealing in the context of synthesizing 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones using alkenes, carbon dioxide, and amines in an aqueous solution. The role of diverse variables in the creation of 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones has been thoroughly investigated. Notably, Gd₂ZnMnO₆ NFs demonstrates remarkable efficiency in the production of 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones due to its unique morphology. The morphology of Gd₂ZnMnO₆ NFs contributed to the creation of a desirable outer layer for the creation of 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones. The findings demonstrated that the utilization of Gd₂ZnMnO₆ nanofibers positively impacts the effectiveness of the creation of 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones. This can be attributed to the nanofibers' impressive mechanical and ionic internal characteristics, as well as their exceptional thermal sustainability and persistent colloidal sturdiness. Consequently, employing the host–guest method, the system could be regarded as an exemplary nanocatalyst. A diverse array of olefins was successfully transformed into desirable products, independent of the electronic nature of the substitutes. The involvement of heterogeneous mixtures did not impede the progression of the reaction. Moreover, the 3-aryl-2-oxazolidinones were easily distinguished from the Gd₂ZnMnO₆ nanofibers, and the medium exhibited the ability to undergo multiple cycles of usage without experiencing a notable decline in their catalytic activity and selectivity. This approach offers notable advantages, including a strong economic capability and the potential to withstand functional groups.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div><p>Synthesis of biogenic Gd2ZnMnO6 nanofibrous for creation of 3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones from alkenes, carbon dioxide, and aminesSynthesis of biogenic Gd2ZnMnO6 nanofibrous for creation of 3-Aryl-2-oxazolidinones from alkenes, carbon dioxide, and amines</p></div>","PeriodicalId":508,"journal":{"name":"Catalysis Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
