Abstract
OH formation, resulting in high selectivity of styrene oxide. Furthermore, high catalytic activity is still achieved when the system scales up to 2.7 L with 100 g styrene under solar light irradiation. The strategy of cyano group modification gives a new insight into regulating spatial configuration for tuning the utilization of oxygen-active species and shows potential applications in industry.
