Influence of reaction temperature and time on the toluene conversion over CB0.5 was investigated. The influence of reaction temperature was studied in the temperature range between 00 and 00 oc. Indeed, no reaction takes place at 00 oc and h reaction time. Figure S3a shows that the conversion increases quickly with temperature, while staying constant beyond a reaction temperature of 50oC. This is typical for the setting in of a secondary reaction consuming reactants, presumably the decomposition of HO by the catalyst into products other than benzaldehyde, e.g. oxygen. Figure S3b illustrates that the oxidation of toluene at temperature 50 oc is indeed finished after h, prolongation of the reaction time to 4 or h give no obviously increase in the conversion of toluene.
