SBA-15 supported cobalt oxide composites with low Co-content (1wt%) were prepared via the “two-solvent” method and impregnation. The impact of the low Co-content and preparation method on the morphology and dispersion of the resultant Co₃O₄ particles was investigated using a variety of characterization techniques (XRD, N₂ adsorption–desorption, ICP-MS, DR UV–vis, FTIR, TEM, HRTEM and STEM). Here the Co₃O₄ patches were smaller and better dispersed throughout the support compared to previously reported composites with higher Co-content. As a result, they exhibited better catalytic performance in the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexanol, benzylalcohol, 1-phenylethanol and norbornene, with tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP). The composite prepared by the two-solvent method demonstrated better catalytic activity compared to its analogues with the same Co-content prepared by the impregnation and adsorption methods. This is attributed to less pore blockage and better availability of Co₃O₄ in this composite.
