Synthesis of supported copper catalysts for the selective oxidation of alcohols
Abstract
This work describes the preparation of copper catalysts on cerium oxide and their activity in the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol. Three metal loadings are compared.compared and discussed.
Introduction
Classical methods rely on stoichiometric oxidants that generate toxic waste (Nguyen et al., 2019), so there is growing interest in catalysts that use molecular oxygen.

Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude?
Chatbots translate a paragraph. We translate the whole paper.
General AI chat tools can be helpful, and many students already use them to translate. But when the text is a whole thesis or paper, you need something more.
| ChatGPT, Claude and other chatbots | Tolayda | |
|---|---|---|
| Long documents | Paste in chunks and stitch the answers back together | Upload the whole file. Every section is translated, in order |
| Formatting | Plain text back; rebuild your headings and tables by hand | Word and LaTeX come back with the structure in place |
| Equations and citations | Can be reworded, renumbered or dropped | Equations locked in every format, LaTeX citations too; the rest checkable side by side |
| Your field's terms | Drift from chapter to chapter | Your glossary is used whenever you translate from that language |
| Checking the result | Hard to spot a skipped or summarised sentence | Original and English side by side, section by section |
| Academic integrity | No record of what the AI wrote and what you did | Edit history: every change attributed and timestamped |
| Where your paper goes | To a large AI company's servers | Translated in the UK; never sent to another AI company |
Made for the way academic work actually gets done.

Questions
Why not just paste my paper into ChatGPT?
You can, a few pages at a time. But you'll rebuild the formatting yourself, check every citation by hand, and watch for terms that change between chapters. Tolayda takes the whole file and gives back a real Word or LaTeX document, with the English beside the original so you can check every section.
Is my paper used to train AI?
Your paper is never sent to OpenAI, Google or any other AI company. Translation runs on Tolayda's own hardware in the UK. Papers may help improve Tolayda's own model, and you can opt out any time in Account › Preferences.
What can Tolayda translate?
A Word file (.docx), a PDF, or a LaTeX file (.tex), from Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese into English. Word exports as Word and LaTeX as LaTeX. A PDF exports as a new Word file.
What counts as one translation?
Uploading and translating a paper, or retranslating a whole paper. Retranslating one section, editing the English and exporting are free.
How much does it cost?
Students with a .ac.uk email get three translations free, and two more for each student they refer. If your university licenses Tolayda, you sign in with your university account instead.
Can I use it for assessed work?
Check your university's rules on translation tools first, and say how you used one if they ask. Tolayda keeps an edit history, so what was translated and what you rewrote stays on the record.
Does Tolayda certify translations?
No. Tolayda assists the work. Scholarly review, copy-editing, and any official certification stay with the people responsible for them.
Your research, in English, without breaking it.
Free with a .ac.uk email, or through your university's licence.
