Pd and transition metal oxides functionalized ZSM-5 single crystals with b -axis aligned mesopores (ZSM-5-OM-PdO x -MO x ) were prepared. ZSM-5-OM support was obtained from crystallization of aluminosilicate gels in the presence of cationic polymers. Characterizations indicate abundant nanopores and highly crystalline degree of ZSM-5-OM-PdO x -MO x , and active species of Pd and transition metals were homogeneously dispersed into ZSM-5-OM, which showed unique interactions and enhanced ability for activating oxygen. Catalytic tests showed that ZSM-5-OM-PdO x -MO x were highly active and reusable catalysts for selective oxidation of alcohols under aerobic and solvent free condition, which were much better than those of Pd/transition metal oxides functionalized ZSM-5, mesoporous silica of SBA-15, and activated carbon catalysts.
