Bio iron oxide was synthesized from natural Sesbania sesban plant and modified by a molybdenum complex (Fe2O3/MoSB). Fe2O3/MoSB was deposited on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using a conventional single nozzle electrospinning technique (PVA/Fe2O3/MoSB). TEM, SEM, AFM, FT-IR, TGA, EDAX, and elemental analysis were used to determine fiber compositional information. The catalytic efficiency of electrospun PVA/Fe2O3/MoSB nanofiber in the oxidation of alcohols was exploited. The green reactions were conducted at solvent free conditions as a green media in the presence of H2O2 to have the desired aldehydes and tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide to obtain acid products in high yields and excellent selectivity. The survival of this nanocomposite was investigated and it could be reused and recycled in consecutive runs
