Formaldehyde oxidation suffers from insufficient activity at low temperatures due to the lack of efficient silver catalyst. Herein, the authors design a tandem bifunctional zeolites-silver catalyst that achieves a 50 times improvement in activity (100% versus 2%) at 70 °C as compared to monofunctional supported silver catalyst.
