The oxidation of sulfides occurs effectively and selectively with H2O2 as the oxidant. PW12-APTES@KIT-6 was used as the catalyst.  The catalyst can be reused for several times but it will be less active.}, number={3}, journal={Iranian Journal of Catalysis}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Fazaeli, Razieh and Aliyan, Hamid and Foroushani, Somaieh Parishani and Mohagheghian, Zahra and Heidari, Zahra}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={Heterogeneous catalysis, Polyoxotungstate, Mesoporous silica KIT-6} }
