Tuning the nature and profile of acidic and basic sites on the surface of redox-active metal oxide nanostructures is a promising approach to constructing efficient catalysts for the oxidative removal of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs). Herein, using dichloromethane (DCM) oxidation as...
