Facile synthesis of a high-performance titanosilicate catalyst with controllable defective Ti(OSi)3OH sites†
Abstract
A novel TS-1 (TS-1S) catalyst with newly-generated defects, i.e. Ti(OSi)3OH species, which exhibits the highest reactivity among different Ti species, is constructed in an ingenious strategy. This also provides a promising way to effectively tune the intrinsic nature of Ti active centres in other titanosilicates.
